Sofia strives to improve the lives of others through sustainable design.
Sofia Villalta is an Architectural Intern at STUDIOAXIS, putting her four years of education into her work. She currently studies at Ball State University and is pursuing a Bachelor of Architecture with a Minor in Social and Environmental Justice. Since her second year at Ball State, she has been a member of the American Institute of Architecture Students (AIAS), improving her networking abilities and connections. With the knowledge she has gained from her studies, Sofia is cultivating many design skills while improving her teamwork, communication, and critical thinking skills in the studio.
Sofia’s love for art, math, travel, and culture is what cultivated how she views architecture. She has a design approach that strives to connect people within a built environment, and better the lives of whoever inhabits these spaces. Her belief is that the needs of people should always be at the center of design and that sustainable practices can create better opportunities for people to find community.
With this being her first internship, Sofia is eager to broaden her knowledge and be a part of a firm that is making an impact in the built environment.
