ABOUT ME
EDUCATION
SKILLS
With an immense passion for design, I enjoy working both on Architectual as well as on Urban Design projects. How a city functions facinates me. As an Urban Designer, I would love to put my skills in practice to improve how people interact with the city.

I work best in an environment that pushes the limits of my current abilities and helps to develop my creative skills. I bring a fresh and global perspective to the table since I have lived, studied and worked in some of the most interesting places through my career so far. My immediate goal is to further my practical knowledge and gain more experience by working on projects from their initial phase till completion.
