​His ability to focus and enhance technically proves his determination, commitment, and drive. He has shown proactive qualities and leadership. When I ask him to finish projects he will never disappoint. I am always impressed with ray’s solutions as he is a risk taker and a designer who brings modernity in his work.

​As far as outside studies: this last summer, Ray applied for two UCLA Summer courses - Introduction to International & Area Studies, as well as An Introduction to Cities and Planning as he learned about architecture with a professor who tutors Doctors from Cornell University. Ray has done extensive research and is exposed to many articles from famous writers. Through this learnt knowledge from all areas of study has led him closer to his dream - the construction industry strengthens his passion. I see him bring this experience to all his work.

​As a child, Ray demonstrated interested in architecture, as his father’s profession gave him the insight of the design world. After the completion of his father graduate studies, he began his career as an architect. He owns a construction company, has developed, and patented a product for construction, and has built many facilities. Every time, he would introduce various kinds of architecture and knowledge to his son, inspiring his future endeavors- to create something meaningful and provocative.

​Here at WCAAD Ray has created independent work and really has come to maturity and individuality. He has improved on his fundamentals in all areas not only in architecture.

​He has realized the competition and strived to be unique in his work. For Ray: “A building site expresses a sense of belonging and a close spiritual connection between people and the building. I think the essential natural relationship of architecture is the integration of the appearance of the building with the local atmosphere.” I know his concerns for future design buildings include sustainable materials and the connection between space and resident to increasing the sense of relationship with natural light, sense of warmth, spectacular aesthetics, and a sacred functional space.
