About 

Hi, I am Julia. As my passion for Architecture has lead me to travel internationally to explore other cultures, I found New York to be the best place to experience coexistence of them so I made it my home.
      My Architectural interest belongs in designing socially responsible spaces. I believe that the beauty of architecture lays in it’s ability to impact people's lives. Being able to design for improvement of everyday life of people with what the particular country/site/climate already has without destroying the cultural elements is the goal I strive for.
