A Creative Path

Architectural and Design Training

After enrolling in Brighton, Jason discovered new possibilities with design software such as AutoCAD and Architectural Revit. He believes that these skills have given him a way to bring his ideas to life in a more tangible way. Furthermore, Jason is always thankful to the staff and instructors for their guidance whenever he needs help.


“Ever since high school, this is something I’ve always wanted to do”


Always Inspired and Norman Foster

Jason is constantly inspired by the works of Norman Foster’s designs. He loves Foster’s ability to design unique yet beautiful buildings that also serve as iconic landmarks. In the future, Jason plans to use his skills to one day become a Principal Partner or lead his own firm.
