Hi, I’m Annika! Currently, you can find me at the University of Tennessee, where I’m pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Interior Architecture. Now in my fourth year, I am more confident than ever in my pursuit and dedication to the vast field of architecture and design. I was raised by a family of travel bugs, so it’s no surprise that I chose a university 2,000 miles away from home. I have loved getting acquainted with a new city over these past few years, and I can’t wait to see what waits ahead after graduation!

Since diving into my first semester, I’ve been able to explore so many different avenues of design. Studio culture at UTK has immersed me in the worlds of physical model making and furniture design, to material specifications and even the technicality of code analyses. I’ve built up a toolbox of skills that I am now excited to further improve on more in the working world.

As passionate as I am about the major I’m in, I am even more passionate about how I can use it to improve and enrich the lives of others. I am encouraged by the humanity behind every good design, and keep it consistently in my mind as I strive towards new experiences after school.
