For the past three years I’ve worked as a Senior Designer at Synthesis Design + Architecture in Los Angeles where she has focused on design development and schematic design for large-scale development projects as well as small pavilions. She has gained a lot of experience with project management and client relations, particularly as the liaison to Asian clients..
