About 

✌ Hello, I'm Yauheniya.

🎓 I hold a
Master's Degree in Architecture from the Higher Technical School of
Architecture (ETSAM) at the Technical University of Madrid (UPM), where I
was involved in an experimental group known as the Soriano Unit,
focusing on Post-carbonscapes strategies. My academic background also
includes a Bachelor's Degree from the School of Engineering and
Architecture (EINA) at the University of Zaragoza and another Bachelor's
Degree from the Belarusian National Technical University (BNTU). This
diverse education has honed my skills in concept design, video
elaboration, and parametric computational design.

📍 My
professional journey spans over 5 years, including roles at Design
Institute Minskproyekt in Minsk, Belarus, where I started as a Junior
Architect. I later contributed to the Magnet Minsk Project with Mace
Group and HKR Architects, and the Minsk World Project with Dana Holdings
and Emirates Blue Sky. Currently based in the Spanish Pyrenees, I work
on renovation projects, continuing my focus on sustainable and
energy-efficient design.

🏗 My expertise spans the entire project
lifecycle, from schematic design to construction administration. I
excel in contemporary design and 3D concept development and approach
challenging tasks with a positive attitude that benefits my teams.
Proficient in Rhinoceros 3D, Revit, AutoCAD, Adobe Premiere,
Grasshopper, Photoshop, and InDesign, I am highly adaptable to new
environments and tasks.

💻 My ambition is to collaborate with multinational teams and shape innovative architecture as an architectural designer.
