When I applied for architecture, my primary goal was to acquire knowledge in design, drawn from my dream to design functional and aesthetically pleasing interior spaces. This drive remains strong, as I am committed to immersing myself in the architectural work environment to deepen my understanding of interior architecture principles. I aim to achieve this by becoming part of a collaborative effort dedicated to shaping South Africa's future. Through this collective endeavor, I seek to highlight the nation's cultural, ecological, and diverse wealth.
