About 

Recent Master's graduate in Architecture eager to apply design skills to a dynamic team. I was born in South Africa but my parents are from Italy and Bangladesh. I’ve grown up with a mixed background which I can say for a fact influences my designs and what I come up with! I love coming up with new ideas and working through things with others to be able to create something beautiful in the end!
