Background

Hello! My name is Max Fudal and I have recently graduated from the University of Oregon College of Design with my Bachelor of Architecture and Environmental Studies Minor. My introduction to creativity was music, and my introduction to design was LEGO. The merging of the two has led me to take a profound interest in structure, history, and art. Architecture is the focus of my creative goals, as I believe it can do the most exponential good for others. I am eager to learn more personally and professionally, and leverage my experience into an Architectural Designer position,.
