Georgina highlights the disparity in architecture services, where high-end design is often inaccessible to the average person. Many people need good design but cannot afford traditional architecture fees.
Childhood Fascination
Georgina enjoyed drawing buildings as a child without realizing architecture would become her career. She drew homes, schools, and hospitals, imagining what it would be like to inhabit them.
