About

I perceive architecture not merely as the design of structures, but as the art of establishing meaningful connections between the urban fabric and the individual. Throughout my education and professional projects, I have cultivated extensive experience in conceptual development, drafting, modeling, visualization, and technical implementation, while fostering effective collaboration across various disciplines. I view compliance with regulations, sensitivity to urban context, the enhancement of public spaces, and universal accessibility as fundamental pillars of design. Moving forward, my focus is on generating value at the intersections of architecture and diverse fields, and bringing enduring and inspiring projects to life. I’m open to freelance, full time, or project based opportunities. 📩 [email protected]

Experience

    My first full time role as an architect. The office worked across high end hotels, restaurants, offices, houses and exhibitions. This gave me the chance to move between big picture concept design and detailed execution. I grew in understanding how to manage complexity across disciplines while keeping design intent intact. Learned to navigate large scale projects and client facing processes. Developed a holistic view of architecture.
