About 

Awe-inspiring places are my guilty pleasure. I believe that power in architecture lies in its ability to transform something that is banal into something that is whimsical.

 

It is with great excitement that I look forward to increasing my knowledge within the field of architecture and design. I am seeking to gain professional knowledge and skills within an environment that encourages creativity and collaborative conversation.
