I've had some people come up to me and ask about how to get into ENDS. So here’s a small sample of what I had in mine. In all honesty, I wasn’t very proud of my portfolio and I really beat myself up after I submitted it because I procrastinated so much to the point at where many of my installation pieces were unfinished. I guess it’s a lesson learned and really you should spend a lot of time on it. On the question of themes, I decided to write something up about the concepts I found consistent throughout my work.</p>

My first piece is chicken bone/thread construction of an insect creature. This is actually my favourite piece out of everything I did because I put a lot of work into it and it came out as I sort of expected.

<p>
Yes, that is the exact thought process undergrads go through when deciding what to do for the rest of their lives. Surprisingly as I did research into architecture (which involves mostly looking at cool buildings on the internetz) and taking classes at Emily Carr, I loved it a bit more than I expected. And so here I am with this letter clenched in my hand after months of portfolioing and stress later, hoping for the best.</p>

I decided to start this blog because when I started to google about the ENDS program at ubc, I came up with nothing. Not a single blog or students blabbering and complaining about their studies. When I started to apply to univ...</p>
