I have always been interested in lighting design.
In 1996, I started to learn lighting design and other professional skills from Mr. Chou Lien (Brandston Partnership Inc.). During this period, I participated in the lighting design of many important construction projects in Taiwan.In 1996, I established the ALD Design Group and started to participate in international lighting design contests. I have won awards of excellence, for which I was interviewed by professional design magazines to speak about illumination and light environments. I also composed a book about illumination and published it at my own expense. It has earned much praise.
