My years before architecture have always been absorbed in drawing and design. Architecture was especially appealing due to this upbringing. Realizing ideas has always been a gratifying reward, but architecture became a fascination due to the inherent nature of how people interact with their surrounding environment. Designing and drawing forms that ultimately sculpt space—creating a beautiful place that becomes the catalyst for peoples’ memories. This is the story of the untold hero that is architecture. |

Traditional Japanese animation highly influences how I process information and find inspiration. As an avid fan for as long as I can remember, I hope I can design with as much character and story as some of the animes I have been blessed with. I taught myself HTML and CSS in high school and went through a phase of experimenting with websites which has now given me the ability to hand-script this website only using notepad. During this time I also played many video games on the PC. After finding a part-time job, the first thing I saved up for was my own computer. General opinion looks down on playing too much video games, but I have to say, it was this combination of video games, computers, and the internet that taught me the best skill anyone in our generation can possess: critical thinking and problem solving using the internet as a resource for knowledge. While Google and YouTube have made this easier, navigating the internet is a skill as difficult as sailing the seas; anyone can get in the boat, but only the best sailors find treasure. |

came about from a series of studies (which happened in junior high) finding ways of identifying myself within the depths of the internet. My initials RNP was maybe an obvious choice, but while I was joking around with some friends, I told them I would make it big one day—I had it in me to be rich and famous. And so, there it is. A fun joke every time I tell it. Now, I would much rather be inphamous but either way, seems like too much trouble. |
