About 

Hello! My name is Tiffany, and I am a recent graduate of the University of Waterloo School of Architecture.  

I am a learner, designer, builder, collaborator, and dreamer.  

I am excited to explore and learn about the world around me, as well as the many roles that architecture can play in our built and imagined world.

Thank you for taking a look at my work. I look forward to speaking with you very soon!
