BIO:
Qi (Wendy) Jiang is a 5th year Architectural Engineering student with a focus in lighting/electrical systems at Penn State University. She is an international student hailing from the Nanjing, China. She will graduate in May 2016 with both a Bachelor's and Master's of Architectural Engineering, and both a minor in Architectural Studies and Economics. In the summer of 2016, Wendy will begin her career as a lighting designer at the Office of Visual Interaction(OVI) in the New York, NY office.
During her time at Penn State, Wendy has been a member of the Illumination Engineering Society and Phi Sigma Rho. During the summer of 2012, Wendy began exploring the differences in the architect and architectural engineer careers by interning at W2 Architectural Inc. in Nanjing.The following summer, Nanjing’s International Lighting Festival occurred and Wendy had the opportunity to intern with the planning committee for the event, which led her eventual career in the lighting design world. She also participated during her fourth year in Penn State’s Interdisciplinary Collaborative Studio as the lighting/electrical member. This experience provided her insight into working not only with fellow engineers, but also architects, which she was no stranger to. Most recently, Wendy packed her bags for New York City to intern with OVI for the summer of 2015 as a lighting design intern. All her experiences have allowed her to expand her knowledge making her a well rounded engineer and designer. Although she is well versed in many subjects, she never fails to lose her phone. In her spare time, Wendy loves to explore different cities, their culture, their food, and most importantly, their fries with ranch. Mm Zesty.
