About 

As an architectural designer, I have been working at boutique residential firms, contributing to a range of exciting projects. The small office and close-knit team have provided me with a rich and comprehensive experience, exposing me to the full lifecycle of building projects, from concept to construction.

Now, I am focused on contributing to the creation of spaces that not only meet practical needs but also foster creativity, connection, and community engagement on a larger scale, such as gathering spots, recreational venues, and communal spaces. My ultimate career goal is to focus on critical local challenges, including housing shortages and urban revitalization, and make a significant impact on people’s quality of life through my work.
