Shannon Hui thrives on the exploration of multi- disciplinary and multi-scalar urban mediations that center meaningful inclusion, equity, and well-being. She has served on an award-winning design team for the Van Alen Institute and New York City Council, conducted research on healthy housing for ARCHIVE Global and is co-founding a start-up for modular ADUs incubated at MIT designX.
These experiences have oriented her toward a systems-thinking approach to intersectional place-making, attentive to the immense value of community-driven design and programming. Whilst born and raised in Hong Kong, her perspective of the built environment has been further nurtured by New York City.
