She holds a Masters of Architecture from the University of Sydney and lives in Marrickville. She is invested in the intersections between architecture and its adjacent curiosities. She has written for publications like Sent Folder (2020) and UNION Magazine (2023).David Janson (Thurlow Studio): Thurlow Studio is an architecture practice based in Surry Hills. Their design approach uses one-on-one concept workshops to collaboratively explore ideas with their clients, establishing a shared design vision. This process involves sketching the concept together in real time and produces architecture where the client and stakeholders are integral to the final outcome.Sophia Yin: Sophia Yin is an architectural graduate with over three years’ experience across residential, educational, and university infrastructure projects. Passionate about design storytelling, collaboration, and context-driven architecture, she observes beauty in everyday life and expresses it through sketches and photography that celebrate the poetry of overlooked urban spaces.Doors open at 6:00pm for a 6:30pm start.
