Born and raised in the midwest, there was a time when my backyard was all it took to captivate me for hours, if not days, on end. Growing up, that is exactly where you would find me: exploring the fields of nearby farms, fishing in the creek, and building shelters from whatever I could find laying around. Im not sure when that stopped, or why. Maybe I was small enough then that the world still seemed big, but throughout the past six years of architecture school I’ve realized I never lost that yearning for exploration. It is still there, in the background, driving my creative process - I am constantly exploring new ways to experience the world around me.
