I am originally from Norway but have lived in New York for a decade. I just graduated from Columbia University with a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture where I received departmental honors, the Marcia Mead design award, the Louis Sudler Prize in the Arts, and was inducted into the Honor Society. I am currently looking for a place to work before I apply to graduate school in a year or three.
