Alyssa Hsiao

Architecture Intern

My time at AKIYA2.0 has been a truly valuable experience. Through the on site work, I gained practical experience and developed new skills, while living in a Japanese village gave me the opportunity to experience firsthand the unique charm of traditional Japanese kominka and its connection to the local community. I am truly grateful for this opportunity, which has given me a deeper understanding of the industry and sparked a stronger interest in pursuing this field in the future.

Interning at AKIYA2.0 was really an invaluable experience. During the internship, through hands-on work like 3D modeling, website translation, housing inspections, and property searches, I gained practical, real-world industry knowledge across architecture and real estate. Beyond professional growth, living and working abroad also brought me a lot of unforgettable memories.
