I have had an interest in cities for a long time. I am able to clearly see images of buildings, machines, and city maps in my mind while drawing and creating. 

The earliest memory of this was when at age 4, I built a model of our local water supply pipeline with wooden blocks. At the time my parents didn’t know what I had built but when we later visited Cotter Dam, we discovered that it was an exact (smaller size) model.

I have continued to explore my interests in engineering, architecture, energy production, and cities to a greater depth.

While working on my project, I decided to learn more about sustainability as a concept and how it impacts cities as well as urban planning.
