I am a design professional with an architectural background, currently focused on workplace design and user experience. I bring experience supporting projects for residential and cultural spaces, with a growing interest in how AI tools and computational design can shape the future of architecture, including parametric workflows. Based in Budapest, I work independently while continuing to build skills and contribute to small-scale consulting projects. I am seeking architecture opportunities and am available immediately. I actively develop computational design skills (e.g., parametric modeling with Revit + Dynamo and Rhino + Grasshopper) and integrate user-centered design principles into spatial strategy, documentation, and stakeholder communication. I pursue a flexible, collaborative approach to project delivery and am excited to explore how AI can enhance design processes.
