Wei joined L'Observatoire Int. in 2012, as part of the team that worked with LVMH and their luxury retail projectsm.

For Wei, the most rewarding and most challenging part, is finishing a project, “Focusing and final scene settings is when we see the concepts come to life. It can be a small project like the Frederic Malle perfume store in Greenwich Village or a large project like the REACH at the Kennedy Center in Washington D.C. - the result is a balance between science and art that is really magical.”
