Lynda Osborn graduated in May of 2022 with her Bachelor of Architecture and Master of Architecture from California Baptist University. Throughout high school, Lynda was involved in the technical theatre department, which helped to spark her interest in architecture and design. Throughout her time at CBU, Lynda designed a wide variety of project types, such as a small health clinic and a media lab for a neighborhood in Los Angeles. These projects have sparked a passion for community-based design and empathetic research that will serve the existing community to grow and flourish. After spending a few years working in architecture, Lynda plans to return to school to get her Master’s in Art History, with the goal to work in historic preservation and then eventually work for a university.
