Work

Chu is known for 'the fusion of art and design' in her work.[2] As an educator working across the U.S. and abroad, Chu was recognized as a 2016 Presidential Honoree of the Los Angeles chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Distinguished Educator Award.[3]

Chu was later appointed Vice President of the International Interior Design Association (IIDA) Board of Directors, which supports clients through a network of 16,000+ members across 58 countries. Chu has expressed support for women designers and has stated, "perhaps they are more likely to listen and empathize, and to find ways to integrate responses into design and project management."[4]

She is a professor of interior architecture at Woodbury University.[5] She received her Bachelor's degree in Architecture from SCI-Arc and a Master's degree in Building Science from Columbia University.[6] Chu also participated in organizing the Unmentionables Symposium at Woodbury University Hollywood Outpost (WUHO Gallery) in Hollywood on April 6, 2019.
