I am a creative, enthusiastic, and detail-oriented individual passionate about architecture, its intricacies & the elegance required to solve designing projects.
In 2023, I earned my Bachelor of Architecture degree from the Southern California Institute of Architecture, where I had the privilege of learning from renowned faculty and peers while participating in cutting-edge design studios and workshops. My passion lies in architectural design, and its cultural significance.
I aspire to become a licensed architect and am actively seeking an opportunity to gain hands-on experience while learning from the best in the industry.
Looking forward to collaborating
