Simanjuntak
First-class graduate from Newcastle University with a BA (Hons) in Architecture. Coming from Indonesia, I moved to the UK to study design, where I developed a deep interest in spatial design, form, colour and texture. With academic and professional experience designing for cultural events and a proven ability to work collaboratively, I am seeking a role where I can apply my strong design skills across a range of scales professionally.

A view from the first floor atrium of my final year architecture project. Interior lighting causes the glass to glow, suggesting through moving shadows the activity happening inside.
