About 

I am an architect, designer and a creative seeker. Throughout my academic career, I have discovered a philosophy that entails design as an interdisciplinary collective effort to respond to contemporary needs and future issues. I believe great design is the result of collaborative work combined with passionate, innovative and sensitive values that transform a place or an object into a unique solution that responds to human needs. My communication, interpersonal skills and the out of the box thinking are key strengths that have seen me through tough situations. I am also a motivated leader with strong organizational and prioritization abilities.
