KARINA HUNG

ARCHITECTURAL ASSISTANT



I'm a creative at heart. When I'm not immersed in architectural work, you will find me sketching in a park, knitting, piecing together collages or developing digital products that reflect my curiosity and love for design.

My passion for architecture is rooted in sustainable, meaningful practices — particularly adaptive reuse, the circular economy, and community-led design. I believe architecture should be as responsible as it is inspiring.

With two years of experience as a Part 1 Architectural Assistant, I’ve had the opportunity to contribute to community-focused projects, sharpening my design thinking and collaborative skills.

I'm currently pursuing my Master's degree at the University of Westminster, working toward becoming a qualified architect with a focus on creating characterful, sustainable, and net-zero buildings that respond thoughtfully to our changing climate.

I love exploring design through sketching, 3D modelling, and 3D printing, tools I’ve used extensively throughout my undergraduate studies and in practice. For me, these tactile processes bring ideas to life in the most rewarding way.
