About Me.
My master’s study was focused on a contextual design from micro to macro scale and I had the same interdisciplinary approach at KAW. I believe as an architect it is possible to enhance the quality of the design through effort in studying, analyzing, incorporating sustainable design strategies, and focusing on people.
​
Working in different countries and cultures enriched my vision and approach to design and broadened my perspective as each project contributes to the evolving urban and architectural narrative. Transitioning from an intern to an architectural designer at KAW after completing my master's my focus shifted more toward Dutch architecture.
​
Now I am looking forward to improving my knowledge and experience in creating meaningful places that are human-oriented with the least impact to the environment.
