If you feel that you align to purposeful design and good vibes, you've come to the right place!
Hi everyone, I'm so glad you're here! I'm Elisabeth Brewer, author of EmbArchitecture, a soon-to-be Master of Architecture graduate from Arizona State University. As I near the end of my academic career in Architecture, I've realized there's so much that I wish I would have known when I first started my journey. There's truly not enough resources on self development, pursuing Architecture, and tips & advice. I've created Embarch, a lifestyle blog to talk about all things architecture & design. The good, the bad, & the things we don't talk about enough. I've been through seven years of upper education in architecture (I know, rough!), and I have almost half a decade of work experience in the architectural practice setting. Throughout my time in design school, both undergraduate and graduate studies, and within the professional practice of architecture, I've gained a plethora of knowledge that I want to share with you.
So, I went to design school & work in the architecture profession, but what is my mantra? What do I believe in and what am I passionate about?
Although architecture and design are often seen as two entities, I believe they work symbiotically with one another to create meaningful spaces. Designing with place, the environment, and the user in mind, I thoughtfully design interior & exterior spaces that shape the mind, body & soul. I’m extremely passionate about wellness & the effect our built environment has on who we are as individuals. Focusing on human-centered design, I take into consideration the impact that wellness & sustainability have within architecture and design, and vice versa.
This blog is aimed to target those who love to talk about all things architecture & design, the good, the bad, and the things we don’t talk about enough. I hope this catches the eyes of the young, hopeful, soon to be architects and designers who don’t know quite where to start; and the opposite demographic, of individuals who work within the field of architecture and are hoping to see the change I do within the profession. If you're not interested in the architecture profession, this blog will still encourage you to live a meaningful & purposeful driven life of good vibes.
Twice a week I'll share my top tips, my hopes, my reflections, and of course, my opinions. Here are some topics in the pipeline:
10 Tips of Advice if You're thinking of Pursuing Architecture
How to Avoid Burnout: The Balance of School, Work, & Life in Architecture
How to Master an Architecture & Design Interview
If you have questions, comments, or topics of discussion for future blog posts leave them in the comment section!
All the good vibes,
Elisabeth
