About 

As an artist and designer actively seeking practical experience in the United States, I am eager to explore opportunities that allow me to merge my unique blend of mathematical thinking, artistic expression, and passion for architecture. With this combination of skills and perspectives, I bring a diverse and innovative approach to any project or team I am a part of.
