About 

I am an M.Arch graduate and aspiring architect. My passion and interests are in inclusive design, residential and civic architecture, and interior design. I take a minimalist, yet functional approach to design, and I pride myself in being hardworking, detail-oriented, and analytical. My career goal is to apply my creativity and passion to work on projects that enrich people's lives.
