Trained in both architecture and landscape architecture, I recently completed my Master of Landscape Architecture at Harvard GSD, supported by over four years of professional experience delivering built work from concept through construction documentation. This dual background enables me to operate across scales, from territorial strategies to detailed construction, while maintaining design clarity and technical precision.

Professional experience includes work at Ray Dunetz Landscape Architecture and SWA Group (2024), where I contributed to public, infrastructural, and international projects. These roles required the production of accurate construction drawings, coordination across disciplines, and the ability to deliver under compressed timelines, skills that directly inform the feasibility and resolution of my design work.

Growing up in Macau, a high-density and resource-constrained urban environment, I established an early awareness of the environmental consequences of rapid development. This context continues to frame my work, which prioritizes climate adaptation, infrastructural performance, and the relationship between urban systems and ecological processes.

The LILA submission consolidates this position through projects that engage measurable environmental challenges. Radical Reminiscence addresses extreme heat in Athens through afforestation and microclimate strategies, while Rising from the Ground redefines the aquarium as a hybrid of public institution, research environment, and coastal infrastructure. Across these works, I treat design as a performative system that brings together building, planting, water, and urban fabric to explore spatial outcomes that balance speculative ideas with technical considerations.

A sustained hand-drawing practice operates in parallel, not as representation alone, but as a method for constructing and testing complex urban relationships across scales.
