Grad reflects on global design journey

Each graduating class brings stories of exploration, growth and innovation that define the Waterloo experience.

For Audrey Chen (BAS ’25), the most rewarding part of her studies was the Faculty’s renowned co-op program, which took her to placements in the United States, Japan, Singapore and Australia.

Working and living abroad allowed Chen to expand her design perspective while gaining hands-on experience in diverse architectural settings. She said the opportunity to travel and learn through different cultural lenses was both exciting and formative.
