Ethan Young

After completing my BArch degree at the University of Nottingham, I am eager to find a Part 1 Architectural Assistant position. My approach to architecture is centred on a pragmatic and problem-solving basis, with a genuine enthusiasm for all aspects of the design process and required deliverables. I am particularly keen on refining a practical approach to deliverables, discerning their impact and value to clients. I aspire to work with a firm that shares these values and offers the opportunity to learn, grow, and contribute meaningfully to their projects.
