"I care about buildings, about arches, and pillars and stone, and the way light falls, about color and strength and simplicity. I care about being able to design things that will long outlast me, or anyone I know. Things that generations after us will look at and feel joy."

--Anne Perry (A Breach of Promise)

Description:

I am now in my fourth year of architecture school at CCA. I have gone to two different universities in my education and experienced a wide spectrum of architectural design. I work hard doing what I love, but I know how to play as well! Living with a family of 10 means there's always something going on, (always someone who needs a ride somewhere...) and many memories to share. Take a look at the Harding Films page to see movie clips that I have made to give you a glimpse of what life is like when you're a Harding.
