Washington University in St. Louis, Bachelors, Architecture
At Wash U I obtained my Bachelor of Science in Architecture and minor in Urban Design. Wash U is a design-oriented program that emphasizes the importance of the design process, and really works to develop each student's individual process. My education began with an introduction into hand drafting, an increasingly rarer taught skill in architecture education. As I progressed through the program I learned to synthesize many styles of drawing and designing fluently via Adobe Suite, Rhino, AutoCAD, sketching, modeling, and drafting.
