Hello! My name is Julian Alonso. Born and raised in San Francisco, CA, I take a West coast sensibility to my design work, putting the natural environment and play front and center. I was taught my early design lessons by an interior designer, learned to work with materials in a theater environment, and refined those skills at the Pratt Institute School of Architecture, where I graduated in May of 2024, gaining recognition for my thesis "Now Lie in It" which will be published in Pratt's In house publication "In Process".
I am looking to leverage my skills in architecture, modelmaking, and interiors for a junior role in Architecture or Interior Design offices.
