Hi there!🌷

👋 My name is Bea and I ‘ve always loved architecture, but recently I’ve discovered there’s so much more to it than what we do at university. That is the reason why I created my digital garden, a public open space for everyone who wants to join me on a beautiful journey of learning and experimenting all about architecture.
