About 

I am a fulltime freelance Architect, Senior Arch-viz and visual effect artist based in Berlin, Germany who has been practicing architecture and creating digital artwork and visualization for over ten years.My work stands out as unique in the world of architecture, balancing the use of state-of-the-art digital tools with a sensibility that is profoundly rooted in tradition. 

I am specialized in Organic and Parametric architecture design and I am experienced in the use of a multitude of tools, including 3ds max, Rhino, Paneling tool, Grasshopper and CAD software. I have been working as freelance architect for several firms, including project for Windstone Architects & Consultants GmbH for his highness Hamad bin Khalifa of Qatar, the master plan for Aqaba Jordan for Trust line Creative Group, and, most recently, with Air Design London. In addition to freelancing, I worked for 1 year and half at q~bus Mediatektur GmbH as a 3D artist and architect designer as a crucial member of a team working on corporate architecture projects and in designing an exhibition hall for deutsche Telekom for major trade shows and events.

The last 3 years I have been working as freelance senior Arch-Viz artist at Bünck + Fehse GmbH. During my work in Bünck + Fehse GmbH I worked on several projects, mainly for Middle Eastern Countries like U.A.E (Dubai), Qatar, and Oman, in addition to projects based in Germany and Europe.

Currently I am following my passion to enhance my 3D skills in CGI and visual effects. I am enrolled in 2 courses for VFX mentored by Allan McKay: The FX Technical Director Transformation Mentorship and Live Action Series.

Awards 

2nd Prize Digital museum for SEAT Automotive at ARCHITHON, 2nd Place

In May 2015 SEAT challenged 40 young architects to come to Barcelona and compete to design SEAT new Digital Museum. After 48 hours of non-stop work Seat should have a beautiful, worthy space on its way to becoming a virtual reality.
SEAT has a proud and rich history. From making a whole country move with the SEAT 600 to creating an icon - the Ibiza. SEAT wants to share its stories and its cars in a Digital Museum. An online space that perfectly captures our spirit in a dynamic, innovative and accessible way.

Our SEAT museum proposal emul
ates the iconic SEAT logo in a futuristic way. It takes our brand’s dynamism and young spirit and creates a virtual space with a 3D chrome exterior that conveys how SEAT makes technology accessible to everyone.
