I am a recent graduate with a BFA in Interior Architecture from the Rhode Island School of Design, currently on a STEM OPT. My technical expertise includes 3D modeling and rendering, AutoCAD, and the Adobe Suite, and I am currently pursuing NCIDQ certification. In my work, I strive to embrace the interdisciplinary nature of both art and architecture, leveraging their unique strengths to create dynamic and experiential spaces that serve multiple functions. Through careful consideration of form, function, and materiality, I am dedicated to crafting designs that are not only aesthetically striking, but also environmentally responsible.

My Interior Architecture studies focused primarily on the adaptive reuse of spaces, emphasizing the redesign of environments to meet users' evolving needs. I worked on projects driven by a commitment to addressing social and environmental challenges. Notably, my projects ‘Box Park’ and ‘Adaptive Perspectives’ showcase my exploration of flexibility within built environments. Through these projects, I have learnt to integrate unconventional elements and create spaces that are both multi-functional and sustainable.
In terms of technical skills, I developed proficiency in 3D modeling using SketchUp and Rhino3D, rendering with Revit, Enscape, and Twinmotion, and producing architectural drawing sets using AutoCAD. Additionally, research played a significant role in my design process. I conducted site analyses and user research, including surveys and questionnaires, to ensure the spaces I designed met the needs of the community.
