Bio
Pearl Huang
I worked with Fabian at Woods Bagot Shanghai for more than three years. He was the design leader of the studio and mainly responsible for delivering design excellence for the projects. He is a good motivator for his team, plans work activities and allocates resources effectively to achieve the project goals. He has acquired a depth and breadth of professional experience through engaging in a broad range of projects particularly in the challenging environment of China. He has been respected by the major clients for his outstanding design skills. He is also a strong team player in the studio and showed strong leadership. I highly recommend him as a passionate design leader in any competitive environment.
