Personal Portfolio

Here is a slide show of my previous design work. I will be uploading more files soon once my studio work is over, I will be presenting my work in board formats for a better viewing. For now enjoy the slide portfolio.. :)




Personal Development Plan

I cant believe how fast has the time went by, I am now on the final months within my studies in Landscape Architecture. During my studies and visits on the Focus Week's I believe I have achieved valuable lessons. 

This year as it's my final year, within my Focus Weeks I  mostly questioned myself in to understand my style of work, how I approach designs, what are my weakness and strengthens, what I like and dislike and may more questions. The reason why I questioned myself is because I need to know my own pathway, so I could take the right direction when I finish university. 

Within the 4 Focus Weeks, I intended to look in to different fields of Art and Design based areas into narrow down my style within my design works. I have always been more artistic within my designs, so I needed to understand the inspiration behind my artistic side. Within all my visits and tasks I set out myself during Focus Weeks I have strengthened myself a lot more. On of the  thing's I took on is the different ways in to express my style of work, through colour, scale, simplicity, materials, models and mainly to have a certain style that define myself only. And I believe that's important as a future landscape designer to have a signature style.

Obviously my learning and progressing stage isn't going to end here, I will be interacting more with the design world, visiting  more exhibitions, widening my reading materials, developing my knowledge not only within Landscape but also within other art and design fields as well in order to become an successful future Landscape Architecture.

A other area of subject that caught my attention was about Rain Gardens, which I found very interesting and would benefit me within my design ideas for my studio work.
