Catherine Shih

As a graduating Master of Architecture student, the Weitzman School of Design has enabled me to further develop my passion for design – from the ability to refine ideas with strong conceptual clarity, to expanding my interest in building form, material, and construction, to studying architecture’s larger relationship with landscape and urban context. A certificate in Integrated Product Design has also further shaped and continued my interest in design beyond architecture. I am confident my experience has successfully prepared me for a career pursuing something I love. I will be forever grateful for the academic opportunity and relationships formed here at “PennDesign."
