I am a recently graduated architect and visual storyteller with multidisciplinary work experience that includes architecture, urbanism, graphic design and writing. I thrive best in team environments and I have a growing interest in public spaces. I enjoy narrating the stories of spaces through design, translating research into everyday situations, so that the designs resonate with their users, fostering collaboration and an open-ended dialogue.
