i I am curious. I am curious in learning the unique stories behind each design. Growing up in Macau, I had always been curious about how the eastern and western cultures entangled in this little city. There are endless stories like how a little Buddhist temple ended up getting built beside a mas- sive Catholic church; or how the traditional black and cream Portuguese cobble stone side walk lead up to a ultra-modern casino complex. While capturing past, new chapters are added to these stories everyday as the city evolves. The narratives de昀椀nitely changed when I moved to Ed- monton at age of 17. The unmistakably Brutalist archi- tectures from the 60s and the few remaining Art Deco buildings documented the boom and bust cycle of this oil city. As cold as Edmonton winters are, this seemingly inhabitable city has provided me the neutering space and time to grow as a designer. I believe designs are the re昀氀ections of the stories be- hind them. I hope this selection of projects provides a glimpse into my stories, and my journey to understand the world better through the lens of design.
