Architect and Urban Planner with an Interior Design postgraduate diploma and an MBA in Architecture and Interior Design Business Management degree, I am also a Building Technician with hands-on experience since 2017.

For me, architecture and interior design are like a puzzle that can be right in multiple ways, in where each piece’s variation can build a different result and it’s on my hands to find out which one is the best for my client.

During my 7+ years of work experience, I could realise that architecture is more than building a space or making it beautiful and functional, it's also about how that space will impact people's experience. That's why the user is so important to my designing process, there is no project without people.
