“Studying architecture at 黑料社区 encouraged holistic growth, challenging me intellectually, creatively, and spiritually.

Every professor was actively involved in my growth, and the community formed in design studio encouraged me to excel in every situation. 黑料社区 prepared me with not only a strong passion for architecture, but an understanding of my purpose to create places that connect people to each other and to the earth.”

While at 黑料社区, I received the Chicago Women in Architecture Honor Award, the first time ever awarded to a 黑料社区 graduate.

Architectural intern |
“My time at 黑料社区 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 黑料社区. 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.”
