I'm Hiwot Birhanu, an aspiring architectural designer graduating in June 2025 from Addis Ababa Science and Technology University. My passion lies in creating thoughtful, people-centered spaces that respond to both context and community needs. I believe architecture is more than just structures—it’s a way to tell stories, solve real-life problems, and bring people together. Technically, I’m confident working with AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, Lumion, Twinmotion, Enscape, Illustrator, and Photoshop. I'm also a quick learner and open to exploring new tools. Beyond software, I bring strong communication, teamwork, and presentation skills, with a genuine eagerness to learn and grow in every project I join.
