David Ablang

I was born and raised in the Philippines and am currently in Louisiana. Growing up with a family that moved frequently, I was constantly exposed to unfamiliar and uncomfortable environments. Over time, my appreciation for inclusive, expressive, and accessible architecture grew. Now, I am pursuing the first step to becoming a licensed architect.

During my time at the Academy, I had great opportunities to collaborate with fellow students. Although it proved challenging, learning to adapt and recognizing my strengths and weaknesses has been the most significant gift of teamwork.
