I believe in the ability of architecture, design and research to bring a significant change in human’s life. I have been blessed and challenged to work, study and experience unique environments such as the post-communist Bucharest-Romania and the Islamic-modern Istanbul, Turkey, where the role of the architect proved crucial in these two unstructured contexts on search to redefine their identity.
I am eager to embrace unique design challenges of every project and respond with creative and inspired solutions for your clients.
I am seeking to create comfortable and responsible environments that respond to people‘s actual needs.
