About 

Hi,

I am a graduate student of interior design at Savannah College of Art and Design.  I pursued a bachelor's degree in environmental design, but most of my courses were centered around interior design. Because I was drawn to interior design from a young age, longing for a beautiful and comfortable living space, unfortunately, I didn't have. Therefore, I aspire to use my expertise and skills to improve people's living environments, making their living spaces more pleasant and inviting.

After completing my undergraduate degree, I gained nearly two years of experience as an interior design assistant. Throughout my work experience, I've developed substantial teamwork skills and have delved deeply into creating design drawings and renderings.

During that time, severe environmental pollution and the resulting decline in air quality heightened my awareness of human health and sustainability. I realized the significant role interior design could play in addressing these concerns, which motivated me to pursue my graduate studies.

 At SCAD, I've advanced my knowledge of interior codes, sustainable design, project management, design theories and philosophy. And I served as a Peer Tutor at SCAD, instructing and helping other students in Interior Design courses and software, including Photoshop, Enscape, Revit, Sketch Up, AutoCAD and others.

Looking ahead, I'm focused on my career development and have decided to chase NCIDQ certification. I'm currently preparing for the IDFX exam in April. I believe that my efforts can contribute to creating healthier and more sustainable interior spaces, thereby enhancing the life quality for people.
