ABOUT ME I would describe myself as a highly motivated, creative, proactive and goal oriented young architect. With a multidisciplinary background, I’ve adopted skills like adaptiveness, agility and the ability to work with all kinds of professionals. I like working in teams the most because I strongly believe that together we can develop innovative projects using design and architecture principles. I care about climate change and the environment, therefore, sustainable design is one of my fortes and I aspire to include this element in my work. Additionally, I’m constantly putting my passions and skills into good use by supporting organizations and projects that I really care about.

CYPRUS PROJECTS
Interior Architecture Working for BFU Contractors was one of the most eye-opening experiences because I’ve had the opportunity to work with a young team of architects and learn how to deliver remarkable houses for our clients. We focused on cosy, yet modern interiors, paying attention to details, finishes and their needs and desires. The villas are located in Limassol and Paphos area.

EFDEN SIGNATURE HOUSE Interior Design I contributed with great dedication to the 2D, 3D design of the interior space for the EFdeN Signature House representing Romania at the Solar Decathlon Middle East 2018 (Dubai) competition. Working in collaboration with other students and under the guidance of proffesionals, from a very well known Romanian architecture firm “Cumulus”, we developed the award-winning prototype of our house. They helped us get an admirable architectural energy efficient product - EFdeN Signature House. By working closely with architects, civil engineers, mechanical engineers and construction laborers, I’ve learned how to work in a team and how to handle a project from start to finish. I also particapted in the construction process, both managing and building on site. Tools: AutoCAD, 3ds Max, Photoshop

EFDEN SOLAR GARDEN Project Manager EFdeN Solar Garden was a project specially designed for the Neversea Festival, one of the largest music festivals in Romania. Kaufland, one of the Romanian companies that has high standards when it comes to responsibility towards nature, has chosen our project to represent their values and sustainable practices at the 2019 edition of the Neversea Festival. The main attraction of the garden was the photovoltaic tree design that produced electricity, using solar energy, so that people could charge their mobile phones fast and easy in between concerts.

UNIVERSITY PROJECTS Interior Design
One of the best lessons I’ve learned in design is to stop striving for perfection. Interior design is more of an art form than a mathematical equation. In my 5 years at the “Ion Mincu” University of Architecture and Urbanism in Bucharest, I learned how to complete a project by learning from mistakes and always improving my skills.

OTHER DIGITAL DESIGNS Digital drawings
Since childhood I liked drawing and painting, so now, even from the concept phase, I like to create digital images suggestive of the project to represent the incipient ideas.
