He who has dreamed for long resembles his dream - Andre Malraux.
I wrote ‘architect’ for my future hope in 2000 elementary school graduation. I wrote ‘architect’ for my future dream in 2008 high school graduation. My vision as an architect is to facilitate and develop a space that both people with and without disabilities can equally enjoy and utilize. I dream that my architecture will be ‘poetic, storytelling, and fantastic.’
