gabriel yingst PORTFOLIO

My name is Gabe, I’m an Architecture Student at Iowa State University. Via my education, I have learned architecture is a multi-faceted profession encompassing many unique opportunities. A structure’s design has enough reach to do great harm or good. One must be versatile and adaptable. I am passionate about how the buildings we inhabit affect our well-being. As much as we shape buildings, they shape us.

I am a curious person, constantly trying to understand the world around me. Making me easily coachable. I have spent most of my life working in different construction trades. My experience has taught me the value of hard work and discipline. I am always eager to work hands-on with issues. I believe that all problems present an opportunity for growth. I also work great with others. Truly listening and having empathy allows for the most effective communication.

I am a creative person, I enjoy hands-on activities such as sketching, rendering, and building. I am always eager to refine my skills. I’m extremely interested in people and where they come from. I feel most fulfilled traveling to new places and learning about different cultures. I spend most of my time outdoors doing physical activities. I will always strive to be open-minded and excited about new opportunities.
