| Introduction | Armed with a BArch from the University of Southern California, and an MLArch from the University of Edinburgh College of Art in Scotland, Lesley Ann's quest (so far) is to gain a greater understanding of her environments through charity, hard work and travel. She utilizes Malapit Design as a Freelance operative, to pursue her goals and share her findings. The idea of "Design" is the continuous project of improvement of Self, and the Environment. Malapit Design [The Journal] is here for the love of Life, Architecture, Art, and Landscapes; and it shares reflections on professional/amateur work done in architecture, landscape architecture, urban design, and fine art. Side-projects include modeling, photography, culinary art, literature, and travel journalism. |
