About the speaker

Raven Pearce is a 17-year-old senior whose drive and motivation lie in architecture, and its potential to shape the environment. From the time Raven was little, they always loved to build. Raven made paper crossbows and folded origami cranes, built small wooden boxes, and spent a whole summer hammering a shed together with their father. While Raven's love for creating things has always been expressed through a hands-on approach, they find joy in planning projects before tackling them in real life.
