Sorry to be so silent! Life has been a roller coaster going 500mph.

Here I am in the last 10 days of my semester at Taubman College. I can't believe how time has flown, with two years down and one to go. There have been countless experiences, learned moments, new friends made, and brain fried.

With the end of the semester comes pondering on where I will end up for the summer, what firm will I be working for, what grades will I get, can I take another year?? But all in good hearts, I feel as though I have grown and matured as both a designer and a person. I have acquired new skills and assets I couldn't image I would have a year ago.

I have come to love and be amazed by new professors I had never met and loath those I had known to the point I would never recommend taking them again This is the most trying year I have ever had, between two masters, 5 classes a semester, constant travel, and family health concerns, but in all I am almost there. Home base is coming up, and the ball is out of the park (almost)! 

I've learned whole new theories, questioned my own realities, reflected on what I thought was unwavering truths, and designing a project that could be shown in public at an Ivy University. I can barely keep up with whats happening (or changing) next!

When this is all done, its time for a good drink, a great meal, and with my closest friends. 

May you all be happy, healthy, and well rested! 

Now that the semester is coming closer to an end, the annual Taubman College Career Fair is right around the corner, or this Thursday...same thing you know. This event presents itself as a huge opportunity to find work for the summer, but even more so, network and connect with the alumni and firms... View full entry

When I last left off with my travel I had passed out from a mixture of exhaustion, timezone, and several of those original classic margaritas from the Kentucky Bar (lets be honest it was mostly the margaritas), getting a few hours of sleep until the morning came, and the single most epic road...

There is something fascinating when you hear about a particular place so much via the news, word of mouth, or cultural perceptions that when an individual finally gets the chance to visit, their preconceived notions are shattered and whatever they thought of that place before are proven entirely...

Throughout the duplexity of my dual master journey, there comes a time in every semester where I question everything. I believe it is something that every designer goes through, contemplating their point along the path of their education and life. Of late I think to myself if the work I am doing... View full entry

One of my favorite classes here at Taubman College has been my Fieldwork in American Modernism elective with Professor Sarah Rovang. This course focuses on the mid-century modernist architecture, architects, and other works of design from the 1920's-1960's within the Ann Arbor and greater Michigan... View full entry

Throwing back to last semester, and in light of my forth coming travels, I wanted to reminisce on my time spent in Mexico last semester for my urban design studio. The studio's focus was theorizing how Detroit could leverage it's UNESCO Creative City Network, City of Design designation to benefit... View full entry

Beginning my fifth semester of my dual degree at Taubman College I have balloted several times for professors for different classes throughout my time here and one would think I would be used to this process. Yet, each time I ballot I get nervous that I would end up not getting one of my top... View full entry
