I was lucky enough to receive a commendation from the Glasgow Institute of Architects for my first year portfolio of work. Attending the awards ceremony at House for an Art Lover was an inspiring experience from the talks given and I felt validated for my hard work that year.

In my first year at the Mackintosh School of Architecture we first got to grips with orthographic drawing. Late nights in the studio at the drawing board were how I spent most of my evenings and I loved every minute. Attending these awards gave me confidence in my skills and was a valuable experience to take forward in my studies – thank you!
