About 

I am a recent architecture graduate, I live in France but I've also lived in the US, Australia and Haiti for a while. I love to travel, meet new people and experience new things.

I took a great interest in humanitarian architecture in the last 3 years, which lead me to join the Australian red cross and get an internship in Haiti for three months.

As a long term project, I would like to cooperate with municipalities to create temporary housing in order to shelter those who cannot afford it such as immigrants, war refugees, homeless people, recently released inmates...
