About 

I believe architecture is a dialogue between the past and the future, where tradition informs innovation. My education has been a testament to this belief, exploring the symbiosis of technology and materiality. By experimenting with diverse software and tools, I have sought to bridge the old with the new, always aiming to enhance our built environment with insights from both worlds. This journey has underscored the value of a collective approach in architecture, where understanding and integrating the myriad narratives of culture and heritage are paramount.

Throughout my academic journey, I developed a passion for sustainability and heritage while refining essential skills such as research, critical thinking, and analysis. This is evident in my dissertation, where I challenged traditional ideas of heritage, materialism, and “use” by portraying architecture as an active participant in its surroundings, showcasing its dynamic impact within changing contexts. This research culminated in my final degree project, which empowered local communities through heritage-conscious and challenging the norm of what the built environment represents

With proficiency in software like AutoCAD, Rhino, Revit, and Adobe Creative Suite, I have developed a versatile skill set that enables me to contribute effectively to both 2D and 3D architectural design. My mindset, academic background, and practical experience make me a great professional
