Salut! I’m Andrew Matia, a curious architectural designer originally from ♡–ly Portland(OR), currently leveling up at the University of Pennsylvania in always ☼–y Philadelphia. I’ve reached the final ⚐ and will graduate in May of 2019 with my Master in Architecture degree. At the moment, I am seeking my “new quest”, a full-time position as a JUNIOR DESIGNER.
The last few years have been busy; hopefully you have a moment to see how I’ve polished my skills, sharpened my thinking, and refined my intuition. Let’s talk soon.
