Margie Gutang
I hold a Master of Architecture (Professional) with Merit from Victoria University of Wellington, awarded the TEAM Architects Scholarship – Design Distinction (2022), and a Dean’s List recognition (2020). I'm currently an Architectural Graduate at DGSE, contributing to residential and commercial projects from concept through to delivery. I've utilised Revit, Rhino, Sketchup, Adobe Suite, Enscape, V-Ray, and Lumion. My experience also includes tutoring ARCI 312 Design and working as a Graphic Designer, combining creativity with technical precision. Focused on designing thoughtful, functional, and contextually responsive spaces, I'm progressing toward registration as an architect to deliver projects with enduring impact.
Looking For a Mentor
I am seeking a mentor who can guide me through the transition from graduate to registered architect, offering insights into design development, project management, and professional practice. Ideally, they would have experience in both residential and commercial architecture, value creative yet pragmatic solutions, and support the growth of technical skills alongside strategic thinking for impactful, context-driven design.
