Rebecca John Architectural Designer
Motivated architectural designer with a strong foundation in sustainable design, urban research, and spatial planning. My work translates ideas into spaces that connect with their environment, serve their communities, and express a conscious use of materiality. I’m inspired by projects that unite material craft, environmental awareness, and community connection, where I can grow through mentorship and contribute to thoughtful design.
