Summary

Dear Hiring Team, I am writing to express my interest in the Interior Designer position at your company. With a BFA in Interior Architecture from the Rhode Island School of Design and hands-on experience across residential, commercial, and hospitality projects, I bring both creative vision and technical expertise to every stage of the design process. In my professional experience with firms such as Georgantas Design + Development, Interior Architects49, and Samaan Design Group, I have developed strong skills in concept development, space planning, 3D modeling, and presentation design. I have also been responsible for procurement, material selection, and delivering full design packets to clients, ensuring that each project is functional, visually compelling, and aligned with client goals. My portfolio includes work ranging from high-end residential interiors to multi-residential developments and experiential spaces such as a cigar lounge—demonstrating my versatility and ability to create impactful environments. I am proficient in AutoCAD, SketchUp, Rhino, Enscape, Photoshop, and InDesign, and I bring strong organizational and communication skills that allow me to collaborate effectively with clients, contractors, and cross-functional teams. I am fluent in English, having studied in international schools and completed my bachelor’s degree in the United States, and I am actively studying Mandarin Chinese to strengthen my ability to collaborate locally. This international background allows me to bridge communication with diverse clients and teams while maintaining a high standard of professionalism. I am also fully prepared to relocate to Shenzhen immediately. I already have support in place through a local contact who can help me secure housing, which means that moving will be a fast and seamless process. Relocation will not hinder the hiring timeline, and I am ready to contribute on-site as soon as needed. I am inspired by the opportunity to contribute to innovative projects and would be honored to bring my skills and experience to your team. I would be happy to discuss how my background aligns with your current and future design needs. Thank you for considering my application.

Educational experience

RHODE ISLAND SCHOOL OF DESIGN
Interior Architecture
2018.09-2023.05
(5 years)
I graduated with a BFA in Interior Architecture from the Rhode Island School of Design, where I was trained in both conceptual and technical aspects of design. My studies emphasized the transformation and adaptive reuse of space, combining architectural thinking with interior design to create environments that are functional, meaningful, and emotionally impactful. During my time at RISD, I gained hands-on experience in a wide range of design disciplines, including: - Exhibition design, where I explored spatial storytelling and how people interact with curated environments. - Multi-generational residential design, balancing aesthetics with practical needs for diverse age groups under one roof. - Commercial and retail design, focusing on brand experience, user flow, and functional planning. - Conceptual design projects, which challenged me to push creative boundaries, experiment with materials, and develop narratives that inform spatial identity. This education gave me a strong foundation in space planning, furniture and material selection, human ergonomics, and environmental psychology. It also honed my ability to communicate ideas through sketching, digital modeling, rendering, and presentation boards, using software such as AutoCAD, Rhino, SketchUp, Adobe Creative Suite, and Enscape. Overall, RISD prepared me to think critically, design innovatively, and approach every project with a balance of creativity, technical precision, and user-centered thinking.
