About 

A passionate architect with more than 10 years of professional experience. 
I love all aspects of architecture: from master planning to building design. Whatever I do, I always pay attention to details. For me, quality is the most important in everything that I work on. 

I strongly believe that architecture influences people’s lives. My objective for every project is to create an outstanding environment that boosts people’s creativity and imagination.

My experience includes different types of projects: from private houses and 25-story affordable apartment buildings to mixed-use buildings, ski resorts, and master plans. As an independent architect, I designed private houses, landscapes, and interiors for private apartments. 

I have worked across all stages of design, from Schematic Design to Construction Documents, and have extensive experience using AutoCAD, 3ds Max, Adobe Suite, Revit, ArchiCAD and Artlantis.  I am continually driven to get things done, learn new skills and help other people.
