I'm studying master of architecture here at Leeds Beckett, I believe that form follows function and that the user's needs ought to be at the forefront of any design, thus my involvement with  citizen agency, not only because of the latter but also because individually I need to become better at making key decisions at the beginning of any design stage.

My journey through architecture began in high school as I trained in design and drafting. My work experience started at a construction site and drafting construction documents. That why I need to improve my designing skills so that I can do more than just construction documents.

Since I was a kid I always enjoy the idea of creating things that have meaning whether it was designing paper cartoons or helping my mother making drawings for bread bags.
