As a forward-thinking designer, I integrate technology with architecture, focusing on the potential of post-human intelligence to transform design methodologies. I am particularly fascinated by the role of synthetic intelligence and HCI in expanding the interface between digital and physical realms. For me, architecture is a domain where technological innovation fosters aesthetic elegance. My expertise includes creating dynamic 2D and 3D design communications, gamification of participatory design methods, and leveraging parametric design computation research that aims for a smarter, more user-centric future.
Committed to environmental sustainability in human-built environments, I bring a decade of climate justice activism and advocacy for accessible public spaces to the table. I aim to apply my technical acumen and innovative mindset to address challenges in spatial design and complex environmental solutions.

UNI-Nano Nest (Shortlisted), Nomination
With the growing population, the land is constantly seen as a depleting resource and thus has increased real estate prices. Today, the definition of a house has barely boiled down to it being a commodity that constitutes a kitchen, a living area, bedroom and bathroom. This commodity offered is sometimes so inhabitable that it even lacks the basic notion of light and ventilation. Eventually, all the other additional notions of what a house should offer then become secondary. How do we then redefine a modern living space for a space crunch situation that it is not just habitable, but also restores these essential notions that make it a house?
Design a ‘Living Space’ for a family of 6 (people from 3 generations to be considered). The participants must give a character sketch of the users/family chosen. Based on this, propose a modern way of living in a space crunch scenario for them.
