Emily Van's journey into architecture began in Hanoi, where her childhood passion for building Lego sets and crafting miniature houses sparked her fascination with design and spatial organization. Growing up surrounded by the arts, music, teaching, and mathematics, Emily discovered that architecture harmoniously integrates her diverse interests. She sees architecture as a creative outlet and a discipline that demands precision and problem-solving—a perfect balance of artistic expression and analytical thinking.
