Summary

I am an Architect & Designer, who is aligned with the idea that design should be used as an informative tool to better shape our cities, whether in the fields of art, architecture or fashion.

During my 5 years of post graduate experience, I have gained comprehensive experience in designing architectural projects from Work Stage 1 – 5 which includes commercial, sports, hotel, residential and public buildings. I have gained this experience through effective collaboration with skilled design teams on complex projects with limited resources and budget which were successfully delivered on time.

I apply a creative approach to designs that are appealing, functional and centered on human experience that inspire, delight, and enhance the lives of those who use them. Over the years I have competed in several design competitions of which I have received several prestigious architecture awards - Most noticeably the Winner of the Corobrik Architectural Student of the Year Institutional Award in 2018.
