Kathryn Tam
Kathryn Tam likes to nerd out on a lot of things, and right now she’s going through a phase of nerding out on architecture, urbanism, and everything in between. Even though she is the opposite of a science genius, she finds everything about it fascinating, and that only feeds her curiosity more. If you don’t find her watching every documentary by this guy, or listening to this guy (or these guys), then you’ll probably find her with her camera, trespassing into cool-looking buildings she’s not allowed in. She hasn’t been arrested yet, but don’t worry, she always knows where the other exit is.
