About 

As someone passionate about creative design, I thrive on conceptualizing and bringing to life projects that offer people unique and unforgettable experiences through innovative design solutions. Throughout my academic journey, I have had the opportunity to engage in diverse projects, such as housing, immigration center, museum, and parametric design, where I honed my skills in drafting drawings, 3D modeling, and rendering using various software tools. I am actively looking for an architectural internship or entry-level position as I am eager to apply and expand my knowledge in a practical setting. I am enthusiastic about continuing my learning journey and contributing my skills to real-world projects in architecture.
