Daniels alumnus Sywa Sung (BArch 1994) was featured in the February 2016 edition of Air-Canada's inflight-magazine enRoute as part of its monthly "Leaders of the Pack" series, which profiles Canadian business travelers — and what they pack in their carry-on luggage.

After graduating from Daniels in 1994, Sung went on to expand his career in experiential design. He has created themed attractions all over the world and served as creative director for the 20th Century Fox World theme park set to open in Malaysia later this year, and Dubai in the near future. Sung has also provided creative direction and brand stewardship for Fox's Aliens vs. Predator franchises' massive themed Halloween maze experiences at both Universal Studios Hollywood and Orlando theme parks which debuted in 2014 to great success.

From the article by Caitlin Walsh Miller:

How did you get into this field?

I wanted to design in ways that you don’t get to as a traditional architect. One day, I was reading about Star Trek: The experience, a new attraction in Las Vegas. I light bulb went off: I realized you needed to draw and design for that kind of attraction - you needed an architect.

Sung's background in architecture and his connection to University of Toronto are highlighted in the conents of his carry-on, which include a custom-made U of T letterman jacket, a set square and scales, and the very same mechanical pencil he's been using since his days at Daniels.

Sungs profile can be found on page 38 & 39 of the February issue.
