I call myself a designer as my pencil holds the power of creating something different as how we see the world. Its not a veil but instead a sheild to say that I am much more as a person than just being called an architect. As a young designer and new generation of architects, I realise my responsibities and each day trying to make a place for myself. I aspire to learn and drive my design processes.
