We are diving into the world of the young and talent designer, Shend Bejkollari, a rising architect originally from Tirana, Albania. Currently an undergraduate at Florida International University, Shend has already made an impact, working alongside Professor Fernando Herrera on FIU’s Microhousing competition and co-founding Escape Studios, which is dedicated to creating immersive spaces that provoke thought and push the boundaries of conventional design.

Beyond architecture, Shend has a passion for painting, photography, and politics, all of which fuel his creative vision. Let’s get into his journey and inspirations!
