About 

I love to create things. I am not only interested in Architecture and interior design but I write poetry and I love photography and drawing. I am an animal lover and I am starting to be a foster family for dogs who need a loving home. I am currently working on creating content for a video game and character design also. 

I consider myself a lifelong student because I couldn't imagine going a day without learning new things and experiencing all here is to do in life.
