Architecture has always mystified me from a young age, and continues to inspire me to this day. Since first discovering architecture as a profession while in middle school, it has been my dream to be able to create architecture of my own to inspire others as many great buildings have for me.
While many of my inspired ideas and designs do come from architecture, I often utilize my background and interests in art, music, photography, and psychology to weave new perspectives for exploration. Architecture to me, is a form of art that demands the highest creativity since you must not only achieve designs of meaning, but also adhere to countless codes, clients, and program requirements. It is within this framework that I find to be the most challenging, but also the most rewarding.
