ABOUT ME
WORK EXPERIENCE
4 Years 2 Months
I am an Architect, System thinker and sustainable designer and each of these roles stem from my proliific creativity. I use system thinking to tackle global sustainability challenges, as I strongly believe that every act of design should aim to be more than the sum of its parts. 1+1 should be greater than 2, always. I enjoy working on projects where sustainbility is demanded the most.
