Hi there! Thank you for taking an interest in my work.
I have a meticulous attention to detail and initiative, and I like to bring analytical thinking into the design process. I thrive when battling seemingly impossible problems under strict rules and limitations. That's when I'm most in my element - creative, curious, driven, stubborn. Problems hate to see me coming.
I'm always seeking to further pursue my interest in the integration of technology in architecture and I love to work on projects where I can utilize and strengthen my digital and computational skillsets. I'm open to all kinds of new connections, so don't hesitate to reach out. I'm looking forward to collaborating creatively!
I'm a computational designer and creative problem solver with an international architectural background and experience in digital fabrication. I'm skilled in communication and collaboration and passionate about sustainable solutions and ethics.
