Hi! I'm Sami, an Industrial Design and Engineering student at UTCN. I believe that a great designer is one who delivers projects that don't just look good in renders, but function perfectly in the real world. My time spent on construction sites has given me a clear perspective on execution. I speak the same language as builders and understand the reality of a project, from basic utilities to the final finishes. This practical foundation allows me to create truly realistic projects.
