ABOUT ME
Stephanie Dando
Penn State University
Bachelor of Architecture
Architectural History Minor
I am a 2017 graduate of Penn State's accredited five-year architecture program, holding a Bachelor of Architecture and a minor in Architectural History.
I am a designer. As a designer, I enjoy exploring many facets of the creative world.
I am a self-taught graphic designer; since a young age I have been interested in digital and web-based art, allowing this interest to cross over into architecture.
I will be an architect. During my five-year enrollment at Penn State, I've grown a passion for community-focused projects and challenging designs.
You can find me drinking four (or more) cups of coffee per day, sketching buildings, or looking for Ellsworth Kelly paintings on Museum Mile.
