Adrian Christopher Elder. I come from a medically based family who always pushed me to follow in their footsteps towards the medical field, however, my curiosity and imagination led me to the field of Design. Architecture has always caught my eye since I was a child and it has always been my desired field of study. I am currently enrolled at the University of Kentucky, College of Design: Architecture and will be graduating this May, 2014. I will receive a Bachelors in Art and Architecture with a double minor in Art History and Visual Studies. Over the years here at the University of Kentucky I have broadened my knowledge of design from Architecture, to art, furniture design, poster design, and digital illustrations. My curiosity is what drives me to further my knowledge in many fields and hone my skills as a designer.
