Hello. My name is Shaun Hyla. I enjoy creative problem solving.
My passion for art and design is fueled by an overwhelming curiosity to understand my surroundings.
Currently, I am earning my Masters of Architecture from the University of Buffalo. My background is in graphic design and sculpture. Following my studies I believe I'll be able to build anything I want, at any scale.

University at Buffalo, Buffalo, NY, US, MArch, Architecture
Currently, I am studying architecture.
My program seems to combine the expressionistic freedom of art, with the analytical scrutiny of design.
I'm not a 100% certain which realm of architecture I would like to eventually be associated with. My instincts tell me that smaller, more intimate residential work may be more to my liking, but I enjoy diversity and new challenges. Right now, I am looking for any and all experience I can get my hands on. I'd like to get a real world taste of both large scale and small scale projects.

I finished with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture, taking Graphic Design courses for fun.
My passion for art and design led me to continue my education by earning my Master's in Architecture.
