About

Sheung Yee Emily Tse

With a background in Architecture and Engineering (MEng), and Psychology (MSc), I am passionate about the intersection of spatial design and mental wellbeing, exploring how environments can actively support psychological health.

From research on youth clubs and their architectural influence on adolescent wellbeing to involvement in social impact design as well as mental health services, I’m drawn to projects where space becomes a tool for healing, inclusion, and empowerment.

I am truly excited connect with those who share similar aspirations and explore the endless possibilities in design and multidiciplinary studies.
