Summary

I've been fascinated by structures, buildings and the way they interconnect with the environment for as along as I can remember. My creative side is expressed through drawing, reading and even building Mindcraft communities. I'm driven by the way light plays with shapes and utility. I plan to pursue an architecture degree for licensing but plan to adjust those five or six years by studying abroad and learning hands-on as well as absorbing knowledge from talented and respected architects.
