About Me
My name is Aj, i am a local student from Melbourne in my third year studying Architecture at Swinburne.
While i have no professional experience i am eager to earn some valvuable experience working in the industry. I am very passionate about the design process as a whole, i am intrigued by how something simple in the earlier stages of the process can transform into something so brilliant.
In terms of working in a group or individually, i have no preference as i feel that they are both a positive learning experience, however, i prefer to work in teams as i would like to learn more from others.
