My role spearheads a vast variety of projects spanning the intricate realms of landscape architecture, architectural presentations, diagrams and post-production tasks. I've been involved in designing landscape designs, recreational areas, villas, and residential complexes with private clients. Involving collaboration on interdisciplinary urban design projects with urban planners, environmentalists, regeneration team, ecologists, and geologists is one of my main roles. We focus on the urban projects and landscape architecture, aiming to enhance and revitalize urban spaces promoting well-being and people's health. One of my key tasks is infographic visualization. Transforming research findings on culture,history,population and user needs in urban scale is so significant.
