A. JEÁN DESIGN STUDIO

"Straightforward, practical, and elegant design." - Mimi

 

A. Jeán or mostly known as “Mimi” is an architect based in Mindanao, Philippines. She graduated from Mindanao University of Science and Technology with a degree of Bachelor of Science in Architecture. Her conceptual works and designs follow a minimalist design approach and aesthetic, while her design philosophy is deeply rooted in cultural elements. She is inspired by Asian architecture and tropical design.

 

"Architecture through culture manifesting itself in geometry and structure of the works."  - Mimi

 

Coming from a family affiliated with the Historical Society in Mindanao, she grew up with interests in history, archaeology, performing arts, graphic designing and illustrating. Her love for architecture sparked when she stumbled upon Tadao Ando's book of sketches in German. Since then, she has continued to gain experience in exploring and learning more about design and other operations within the field of architecture.

 

Currently, A. Jeán is an instructor at the University of Science and Technology of Southern Philippines (USTP).
