Throughout the winter before graduating, I wrote over 100 cover letters and mailed them with my standard one-page resume to every architecture firm in the New York metropolitan area. There were hundreds of architecture students graduating that spring and they were all competing for the same few positions available in the region.

From the incredible architecture to the amazing food, traditional gardens to futuristic trains, I quickly fell in love. I returned to Japan in 2015 to work on a community project with the Architecture firm I started with a couple partners. It was a great way to explore the city as an architecture student.

If there is a topic I can spontaneously talk about, it’s this blog … it is the closest thing I have to a hobby ( which is incredibly sad on so many levels ) and I definitely have a Love / Hate relationship with it. I shut down the blog and probably watched kitten video’s for awhile just to get my head right.

Deciding to write this blog has in many ways become a watershed moment for me in my career. This could be almost anything within the field of architecture – it doesn’t necessarily stick to one thing. Get yourself an architectural blog and that number will grow to 10 Million times. Something so beautiful.
