I am an architect and heritage specialist who blends traditional practice with digital humanities. My work spans designing, documenting, and conserving built heritage while leveraging HBIM, photogrammetry, and data-driven storytelling to bring historic spaces to life. I thrive on cross-cultural collaboration and have experience leading teams, coordinating projects, and teaching the next generation of designers. Currently pursuing an MA in Digital Humanities at Uppsala University, I continue to explore how computational tools and immersive visualization can enhance conservation, education, and public engagement in heritage contexts.
