BIO
"TO BE HONEST I EARLY ON IN COLLEGE WAS AGAINST GOING INTO ARCHITECTURE BECAUSE I HAD THIS NOTION THAT ARCHITECTURE WAS HEAVILY BASE ON MATH (WHICH I DISLIKED). HOWEVER, I KNEW I WANTED TO PURSUE SOMETHING THAT INVOLVED THE FINE ARTS, BUT AT THE SAME TIME I KNEW I WOULDN’T MAKE IT OUT BEING AN ARTIST. I WAS PROVEN WRONG WHEN I DECIDED TO TAKE THE FIRST YEAR ARCHITECTURE STUDIO BACK IN 2007, AND WAS PRESENTED WITH WHAT IT SEEMED AS ARTISTIC ASSIGNMENTS. THE REST IS HISTORY…"
