Amanda Gunawan was born in Indonesia and grew up there until the age of 6, when her family had to abruptly flee the country. She ended up following a creative itch into architecture, and at just 26 co-founded the high-end architecture & design firm OWIU, leading massive projects from the U.S. to Asia. She opens up about being shaped by her unusual childhood, her recipe for figuring out her ideal career, how a side project on Instagram ended up becoming a huge platform, and what we can all do in this crazy Covid reality to make our living spaces fit our new lives.
