About 

I am an aspiring designer looking to further my work in architecture. As an alumni of UCLA AUD's undergraduate architecture program, I am looking to expand my understanding and knowledge of various architectural styles and projects through work experiences so I can apply what I learned from the different architecture programs I attended and the diverse cultures I grew up with.
