About

I’m a highly motivated architectural designer with over a decade of international experience turning concepts into tangible models and visualizations. I view architecture as a language of space and volume, and I strive to create innovative, sustainable projects that harmonize with their environment.

I work across fabrication techniques—from traditional handcrafting to digital methods like CNC milling and 3D printing. I bring expertise in model making, tensile architecture, and procedural modeling to the team.
