llana is a senior in the University of Minnesota’s Bachelor of Design in Architecture program. Her studies have included a heavy focus in the iterative process through visuals such as sketches, watercolor, ceramics, and hand modeling. She is especially interested in developing how to design with both a human centered approach as well as one prioritizing a sustainable future. She hopes to learn more about Higher Ed design as she continues with her professional career; specifically, how form and materiality can create spaces that are more conducive to learning.
In her free time she enjoys training for triathlons, climbing, crocheting, and tending to her six-foot long fish tank! Taking road trips is also a priority and she is currently training her new kittens in hopes that they will be able to join her on her next hiking/camping adventure!
