Hi.
I'm Amrita.
I've recently graduated with a Masters degree in Architecture with a Merit score and a seriously big chip on my shoulder!
I love structures; looking at them, dreaming about them, sketching them, designing them and arguing about them.
I also love polaroid cameras and intensely dark chocolates.
I'm currently hooked on to the Wood Wharf project, old Mock The Week episodes and the Tegan and Sara song attached below.....
