I am an MLA student and landscape architect with over 8 years of professional experience in architectural design, site planning, and construction documentation. I bring a strong foundation in spatial design, material selection, sustainable design principles, and 3D visualization, directly transferable to landscape architecture practice. I specialize in synthesizing environmental, functional, and aesthetic considerations into cohesive site designs and I am eager to contribute creative design talent and technical expertise to a forward-thinking landscape architecture firm. Currently pursuing MLA at the University of Guelph, I have worked internationally across Tehran and Kish, collaborating with multi-disciplinary teams and delivering full interior and exterior design packages, construction documentation, and compelling renderings.
