about me
Being thrilled using the power as an architect to create a space into a place, for me it is not just a profession but a way of life. I believe in uncomplicating life by finding simple answers to not to simple problems and have found the same phenomenon quite applicable in the design world as well.Post developing my critical thinking through five years of education and more than an year of experience in the work field, I find myself proficient in all aspects of design.
