Hi everyone! My name Kevin and I am a senior majoring in architecture. I’m from Westerville, Ohio, a suburb northeast of Columbus. I swim for Club Swimming at Ohio State and am the Graphics Coordinator for The American Institute of Architects for Students (AIAS). Some of my favorite events to swim are: 100 Breaststroke, 100 and 200 Individual Medley and 50 Breaststroke and Butterfly. My work for AIAS consist of a very contemporary style of graphics. I also like to work with a lot of gifs or video format to diversify the work load.
Growing up, had many opportunities to travel because of my parents’ line of work. It exposed to different types of architecture, culture and help developed vast interest in so many things. I remember seeing a sea of skyscrapers when in Hong Kong, Colonial French architecture in Vietnam, and a blend of historical and contemporary architecture in Japan and Korea. Besides the architecture, I was also fortunate enough to learn many Asian languages and eat a diverse variety of food. Most importantly, I got the opportunity to walk on the same soil my ancestor inhabited many generations ago.
I am looking forward to traveling to Santiago because I have very little exposure to that region, the Spanish language and culture. This trip will push me out of my comfort zone for being someone than does not speak any Spanish. I look forward to another trip with the Knowlton School and to learn more about the Contemporary Architecture in the region, the culture and a little Spanish!
