How did you first learn about architecture and when did you decide that built environment profession was an area of interest for you?
Architecture and the ideas of accommodating spaces was first introduced to me in middle school when I had began technical theater and crew. This exposure to set design and construction heavily influenced my draw towards architecture.

I create. If there is something that I want to be brought into the world I am going to make it happen. Everyday I am drawing and creating. Even when I have a rare day off from studio, I am still trying to get my hands on something to create.
What excites you in the work you do?
The idea of impacting someone else's life from the things I create makes me the most excited to continue creating. I love to see people light up when they see my models or drawings. That inspires me to the next level. I want to make an experience.
