Ideas Evolve Blog

These are my thoughts, ideas, observations, realizations, and inspirations, put into words, being as open, honest, and true to myself as possible.

Over the past years, I have learned so much from people I met and with whom I worked with, and from various situations with which I encountered, overcame, observed, and digested. The significant parts of my growth are often through challenges, struggles, failures, and mistakes, which culminated in the joy and gratitude after all. In this blog section, I want to share things that came across in my journey of pursuing my passion for art and architecture — basically, everything else.
