I have been a part time tutor at the University of Sheffield since 2014 and became co-leader and design tutor for Year 1 in 2018. Prior to joining the University of Sheffield, I was involved with establishing and teaching on the architectural design course at the Hong Kong Design Institute.
I am also a practising architect and a director at CW2/Architects. Our background is in the design of bespoke dwellings, social housing, art galleries and educational buildings.
I previously worked as Project Architect at Alison Brooks Architects on the Stirling Prize nominated housing development at Newhall. I have also spent periods of time working for DSDHA, London and Studio Shanghai.
Inclusive co-production
Inclusive Learning Toolkit, 2023 - ongoing
Inclusive Learning Toolkit, 2023 - ongoing
This 'project in development' is being co-produced by students and staff from the Sheffield School of Architecture to support and promote a culture of inclusive learning within and beyond the school as part of our ongoing work as a 'social school of architecture’. We acknowledge that being an inclusive school is very much a ‘work in progress’ and that there is much work still to be done.Taking the format of a googlesite, the toolkit includes our inclusive learning manifesto, which articulates a collective understanding of what inclusive learning means for the Sheffield School of Architecture. The manifesto is structured as a set of values and a forward looking agenda. A library of best practice case studies and downloadable learning templates then serves as a resource to distribute responsibility for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion within the school, empowering staff and students alike with the tools to build and sustain an inclusive learning environment that reflects our values. Our future ambition for the site is for it to become an open platform sharing ideas across schools and this would be the first step in moving towards that.Toolkit, EDI, Pedagogy, Participation, Critical pedagogy, Wei Chan Chia and Cith Skelcher

Walkley Festival & Walkley Library Exhibition, 2021 - 2022
This project explores a range of methods to begin to understand, measure, record and develop both orthographic “objective” methods and perceptual “subjective” methods of representing space. The project culminates in a student led and curated exhibition of their work."Last Thursday we had a visit of Y3, Y4 and Y5 pupils from St Mary’s Academy, Walkley to look at their artwork of Walkley Library, St Mary’s and Ebenezer Churches, St Mary’s School and a number of pubs and restaurants. The Y4 teacher Michelle Grant talks every year about what architects do, and they were all thrilled to look at your students sketches and drawings. The previous Friday, in Ruskin Park, just under 20 Y5 pupils had been really helpful marking out the houses in Harworth Street which was demolished in the slum clearance in the 1970s. The Walkley history tent proved to be very popular at the Fun Day on the Sunday." Chris Reece, Chair of Walkley Carnegie LibraryExhibition, Pedagogy, Participation, History and Representation, Wei Chan Chia
"The students' work is intriguing and I am sure those familiar with the Works and those who are dropping by for the first time will find something both interesting and beautiful in the students' representations."
