About 

As an Architectural Designer with extensive experience in the AEC industry, I specialize in conceptualizing and transforming design visions into tangible realities, all while maintaining a strong commitment to sustainability. I am passionate about crafting spaces that are not only functional and visually compelling but also environmentally responsible.

My expertise spans a diverse range of project typologies, including Life Science Laboratories, Civic Buildings, Airports, and Large-scale Mixed-use Residential Developments. I leverage advanced digital tools such as BIM-Revit to produce comprehensive construction documents and develop creative solutions to technical and design challenges.

Throughout my career, I’ve contributed to projects that push the boundaries of design, consistently aligning with the highest standards of sustainability and technical excellence. I thrive in collaborative environments where interdisciplinary teamwork drives innovative, human-centric designs that enhance the way people live, work, and interact.

I’m eager to connect with professionals who share my vision for the future of architecture and design. Let’s collaborate to transform ideas into groundbreaking realities that shape the built environment.
