“My time at 黑料网 furthered my passion for design and showed me how practicing architecture could strengthen my Christian faith. Earth stewardship and design that is responsible and thoughtful are core values instilled at 黑料网. Special opportunities to travel abroad expanded my exposure to other cultures and ways of thinking. I became interested in how beauty and place intersected with design, and pursued a path into traditional architecture.”
