ABOUT ME
Architecture, for me, was more than just a couple of study courses and a degree. Over the past years, it became my habit, my life, my style, and above all of that, my passion. I know an architect as an artist with an ocean of knowledge, from literature and Cinema to Fabric, Style, Plants, technology, and so on.
I have seen in the past years how this multi and interdisciplinary view has made me a jack-of-all-trades. In addition, my friends know me best for being detailoriented, design-loving, and cinephile.
