Über mich

Architect | Designer | Creative | Aiming to create sustainable architecture that fulfills not only aesthetic & functional needs, but also, improves the moods and overall wellness of users.

I am constantly bustling with new ideas and can quickly find ways to apply previous experiences and knowledge to find solutions to new challenges in all aspects, as I often tap into my artistic side for inspiration. My passion and ambition, push me to remain curious and continuously work on improving my skill set, this fuels my commitment to my work and making sure I always deliver the very best in all I do. In a team, I can always be relied on to efficiently contribute towards achieving team goals, while offering additional support to others when needed.
