Neng Lor is an Assistant Designer who works within Eye Level Studio on the Vandewalle team.

Neng believes strongly in the value of places designed to support equality and positive connection to their environment. “I feel a space should be welcoming, allowing imagination, creation, and being themselves when occupying a space,” Neng explains.

Her work with people from many different backgrounds, identities, and values in both her internship and her volunteerism has helped deepen her understanding of human needs and potential solutions for creating inclusive spaces for people.

Skilled with AutoCAD, Adobe Creative Suite (Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign), Sketchup and Lumion, Neng is also trained in using computer and hand skills to create evidence-based designs, site analysis, maps, and renderings. Neng is multi-lingual; fluent in both English and Hmong.
