Strategic Craft,

Lasting Capital.

After 14 years at Kohn Pedersen Fox shaping some of Asia’s most iconic architectural landmarks, I joined Nan Fung Group as Senior Design Manager and Design Lead of the in-house design group. This transition enabled me to bring deep design expertise into a commercial developer environment, where I was responsible for key developments across the NF Group portfolio.

I approach every project with clear strategic objectives in mind, maintaining strong self-awareness of the overarching goals. Beyond material and construction considerations, I focus on designing meaningful user experiences, strengthening asset branding, and creating long-term commercial value — ensuring every design decision is purposefully aligned with both architectural excellence and business success.
