Growing up in Nanjing, China, Sarah's upbringing was deeply influenced by the city’s dynamic transformation—where bustling alleys intersect with contemporary towers against a backdrop of centuries-old architecture. This experience fueled her fascination with architecture, as she came to believe in the transformative impact of design. Outside of the office, Sarah enjoys traveling, roaming around the city, and doing yoga. Her latest endeavor involves delving into the world of 3D animations using various digital tools.
Sarah holds a B.A. in Architecture from The University of Pennsylvania and an M.Arch. from Columbia University. She is certified as a LEED Green Associate.
