Welcome to My Portfolio

Over the past years, I have come to appreciate architecture as a discipline rooted in problem-solving and structural thinking This journey has taught me the importance of analytical reasoning, a keen eye for detail, and an unwavering passion for design.

As a LEED Green Associate, I am deeply committed to sustainability in architecture, and my goal is to create environments that enhance human well-being while minimizing ecological impact. I leverage my organizational skills and ability to learn quickly to achieve this vision.Through diverse experiences around the globe, I have cultivated a strong capacity to thrive in collaborative settings while fostering a positive workplace atmosphere I am adaptable and responsible, excelling in both individual and group tasks, always with a focus on creativity and meticulous attention to detail.

Beyond my academic pursuits, my interests in art and sports have evolved into a deep fascination with architectural renderings and the role of architecture in shaping daily life across different cultures. As a dynamic architect, I am eager to carve out my own path, drawing inspiration from both seasoned professionals and emerging talents. With a versatile skill set, a curiosity for interdisciplinary fields, and a commitment to sustainable practices, I aspire to contribute meaningfully to the built environment by pushing boundaries and delivering innovative solutions

Thank you for taking the time to explore my work.
