I’m an architect specialized in corporate workplace and retail interiors, with experience turning complex spatial requirements into clear, functional designs. My work spans space planning and occupancy strategy, interior design development, Revit modeling, and client-facing presentations—always aligned with operational needs and user experience. I’ve also contributed to workplace analytics and sustainability, including building Power BI tools to monitor space utilization and supporting CO₂ calculations and certification pathways (LEED/EMAS/ISO 14001). Across corporate portfolios and large refurbishment programs, I enjoy coordinating multidisciplinary teams—from early test fits and data validation to procurement support and site supervision—so projects deliver measurable results for clients.
