About 

My name is Christian Newman, and I am currently in graduate school for my M.ARCH degree from the University of Michigan's Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning. I have a background in conceptual design as well as fabrication techniques through my undergraduate studies at the University of Kentucky's College of Design, and the skill set to contribute to an office environment. I am a quick learner with a positive attitude, and I am deeply passionate about design.
