About 

I am an architecture student focused on exploring the interrelationship between people and the environment, with a strong passion for sustainable and experimental projects. I excel at combining creative concepts with sustainable practices to develop innovative and eco-friendly architectural solutions. Moreover, I am passionate about the dialogue between digital and physical design, with aspects of parametric design; my Directed Research project, Frozen Fabric, was recognized with a Citation for Excellence in Design Research at the 2024 Britton Memorial Awards. As a quick learner, I easily adapt to new design software and concepts, quickly contributing value to any team through my versatility and eagerness to learn.
