About Me

With 10+ years of experience as an architectural graduate, I have honed my skills in architectural design, space planning, and urban planning. My commitment to excellence was recognized early on with the Merit Award for the best GPA in 2012, showcasing my attention to detail and problem-solving skills. Additionally, I was honored with the Merit Award for the best Final Paper in the same year, reflecting my dedication to producing high-quality work. My academic journey was enriched with the International Mobility Award for a scholarship in Boston (USA), which broadened my horizons and provided me with a rewarding international experience.

Seeking to broaden my horizons and deepen my expertise, I pursued advanced education, obtaining a postgraduate degree in Interior Design and a Master's degree in Architecture design, Urbanism, and Technology. This academic journey not only enriched my understanding of design principles but also equipped me with the tools to tackle contemporary challenges in the field, such as sustainability and innovation.

Throughout my career, I have embraced collaboration, teamwork, and creativity as integral components of my work ethos. Proficient in industry-standard software such as AutoCAD, Sketch-Up, Revit, and Inkscape, I seamlessly translate conceptual designs into detailed architectural plans and construction documentation. With a keen eye for detail and a commitment to quality standards, I ensure that every project I undertake meets the highest standards of craftsmanship and innovation.
