When did you know you wanted to be an architect/designer? (Or whatever you are, if you’re not an architect/designer!)

I wanted to study Advertising and Public Relations, but the University was too far from my parent’s house so decided to start college in Marketing, at a campus closer to home. I was influenced by my high school friends who were in the Architecture program, they always asked to help make the models for their assignments. I decided to switch careers and here I am!

Shoes, some clothes that I hope will fit again one day, and random crafting items I would like to make something out of but never get to.

Going out to dance or to try out a new bar or restaurant.
