I have been active in architectural practice for over 15 years and in that time I have simultaneously undertaken my education in the discipline and, relatively recently, dedicated myself full-time to my final qualifying master’s degree at the Polytechnic University of Milan – a school consistently in the Top 10 for architectural studies worldwide. In each of my three degrees, I have graduated with the highest possible marks: achieving a 4.0 GPA each time and with a number of distinguished awards on top. In my first architectural office, I assumed the role of an “apprentice” at 17 years old and was thus introduced broadly to the spectrum of architectural practice. Later, I began working independently and remotely on large-scale social housing projects in the UK, while I traveled the world. To date, I have lived long-term in several different countries (currently residing in Istanbul, Turkey) and traveled to many more. While in Barcelona, I had the privilege of working at RBTA (Ricardo Bofill Taller de Arquitectura) at the iconic La Fabrica headquarters, where I was involved in some of their most distinguished contemporary projects.
