As a child, my exposure to the world of architecture helped me realize that the world is not as random as I once thought. Our emotions and experiences are shaped by the planning — or lack of —made by those who design the spaces around us, and attention to even the smallest details can make all the difference. This realization developed my ability to observe, question decisions, examine details, and understand the spaces I encountered. My desire to know how things work and influence us as a society led me to study architecture, and now working in the field allows me to impact how people experience spaces.
