Why did you decide to become an architect?
It was a decision I made in secondary school. I knew my choice of profession had to be design-related, as I loved drawing and sketching from an early age. My first love was actually car design – as a boy, I would draw and keep scrapbooks of all types of cars. As I grew older, this gravitated more to architecture as there were limited options for studying or working in automotive design locally. By the time I entered junior college, I was certain of my intention to pursue architecture, where creativity and design are a major part of the job.
