Architecture has always been a passion of mine, from design to forms to construction, everything about architecture fascinates me so much so in my quest for knowledge I enrolled in the University of Santo Tomas in Manila, Philippines to study Architecture and be the best that I can be in the said field.
Learning through experience was always been my way of learning things. Meeting new people, seeing new places and experiencing life as it is has played a vital role in my architectural profession. In my past I have always worked for small architectural firms, doing a lot of stuff from detailing, planning, design, site work, rendering and etc.
