About 

I am a passionate and dedicated designer with a robust background in both architecture and urban planning. My work experience is shaped by active participation in civic and community-focused projects, where design plays a pivotal role in enhancing the built environment and fostering community engagement. I have collaborated on urban revitalization initiatives and contributed to the design of public spaces that promote connectivity and interaction. 

My academic research, focused on integrating sustainable practices such as carbon capture and storage into urban scenarios, underscores my commitment to creating resilient and forward-thinking designs. Inspired by leading figures and innovative firms in the field, I am eager to bring my skills and experiences to a dynamic and visionary team.

In addition to my design experience, I am highly proficient in Revit, AutoCAD, V-Ray, Enscape, and Grasshopper.

I am willing to relocate to any state in America, as my priority is finding the right work opportunities rather than the location.
