About Me.
My journey in architecture is deeply rooted in the application of digital software to real-world projects. I am determined to bridge the gap between theory and practice, with a strong passion for using digital technology to optimize the performance of materials for sustainable architectures. Beyond the technical aspects, I am equally committed to focusing on the narratives of the occupants, whether humans or animals. I believe that understanding and incorporating the unique experiences and needs of all occupants is crucial in creating spaces that are not only environmentally sustainable but also deeply connected to the wellbeing and harmony of those who inhabit them. The future of architecture, in my view, hinges on this holistic approach, combining innovative technology, eco-conscious design, and empathetic understanding of occupant narratives. My dedication lies in contributing to this multifaceted vision of architecture.
