Starting from an early age, I enjoyed exploring every corner of Hong Kong. Growing up in a dense city, I was always fascinated by how districts and streets could tell stories about the community. Creating places isn’t just about architectural interventions, it is about storytelling. I strongly believe that the story of the places should be appreciated when designing places to connect people with the urban fabric.
During my Master’s in Urban Design and City Planning at the University College London, I discovered my passion for master planning. In particular, I am passionate about the effective use of graphic communication to present spatial relationships, proportions, and design intent. That’s what a plan starts from, communicating a vision, and abstract thoughts into tangible, processed, visual representations.
From my past studies and public art volunteering works, local culture and human-centric design are what I truly value in shaping an inclusive and diverse community. With my enthusiasm for public realm design, I have been studying playfulness in adulthood and its relationship with public spaces as my final postgraduate research project, developing a design toolkit that helps to reframe underutilized public settings as ‘everyday playgrounds’ for adults.
As I progress through my career, I hope to reveal more stories of a community and to implant possibilities into forgotten parts of a city. I am excited to continue my work to create moldable environments that people can adapt to and attach to overtime while infusing creativity in place shaping.
