About me

As an aspiring architect, my work focuses on the intersection of design, culture, and environment, aiming to create spaces that are both functional and emotionally resonant. Growing up in a bicultural environment, I developed a deep appreciation for the history embedded in materials and spaces, which shaped my approach to design as a storytelling medium.

Design Approach

My approach is based on precision, context, and cooperation, with an emphasis on innovative solutions that honor the built environment's history and future.

Personal Highlights

Strong problem solving and critical thinking, earned through tackling complex challenges in previous roles.
Solid ability to communicate and translate in three languages.
Excellent team leadership, gained by taking on leadership roles in clubs.
Time management and organizational skills gained through organizing and planning many events.
Strong Knowledge in Rhino 7, Rhino 8, Auto CAD, Revit, Vectorworks and the Adobe suite.
