A young talented Architect & Interior Designer with a strong creative flair and a passion for innovative design concepts.
My first-rate management skills allow me to carry out a wide variety of designs and projects, from the early briefing stage through construction and completion.
During my professional practise I had the chance to work on projects of various scales and typologies, learning to focus on the site, the materials, the needs of the user, as well as the potential social and environmental impact. Working closely with clients, contractors and professionals in all design related fields have broadly expanded my knowledge and experience, continuously pushing me to explore the most suitable and innovative solutions.
I consider myself to be a fast-learning, productive and hard-working person with attributes which are continuously evolving in a team-based environment. My strongest belief is that spatial design can be the vehicle for improving people’s lives.
