About

I’m a design-focused architect and interior designer with hands-on experience in architecture and interiors for residential and commercial projects. I thrive on translating complex briefs into buildable concepts and enjoy collaborating with teams to bring spaces to life. Growing up between rural and urban settings has given me a balanced, adaptable perspective and a passion for sustainable, context-aware design.

Living between the countryside and city has shaped my appreciation for both nature and human-centered spaces. This background enhances my communication, teamwork, and problem-solving as I explore creative solutions that are practical, aesthetically pleasing, and mindful of the people who use the spaces I help create.
