I am Ueda Gruda, born and raised in Northern Albania in a very beautiful city not very far from Montenegro. I lived and studied in the same city until I finished my high school studies, then I moved to Tirana to study Architecture in 2011. In 2014 I won a scholarship in Istanbul Technical University in Turkey for a Master of Science, and it was one of my best experiences I have ever had. Once I was done with Master Thesis I moved back to Tirana and started to work for Kontakt ltd., who was collaborating with OMA Office and building Neighborhoods in Albania. This is how my career started to get shaped and I started to develop a real passion for Architecture itself but also Master Planning. After 1 year and a half I decided to move to USA and I landed in Tampa, Florida in 2018 where I started to work for small offices to gain experience and get to know the Building Codes of US. After 3 years of struggling and learning a lot I started to work for more prestigious and high-end offices regarding Residential Architecture. Meanwhile I was studying for my Architect's License in US - so these studies led me to focus more on Commercial Architecture and this is how I changed to Commercial and started to work on Project all around USA (Maryland, North Carolina, California, Florida). I continue to work and study, but most importantly I stay loyal to my dream.
