I am an Italian student that moved to London in 2013 where I completed the IB diploma and subsequently went to study in Cardiff University (Welsh School of Architecture) in 2019 to persue my passion for architecture as well as seek new possibilities. Having successfully graduated I am now excited to transfer the skills I have learnt into the professional world. I am a reliable and fast worker which likes to explore possibilities beyond the expected to find innovative ways to tackle both design and functional needs; examples are showcased in the following portfolio. My drive for self improvements helped me become an efficient self-leaner having taught myself new software and programs; striving for both efficient and effective visualization. Although this makes me able to work independently and unsupervised, studying architecture has taught me the importance of working in teams. A skill which I have gained through group projects and competitions as well as the work experience I have undertook. My goal as an architect is to find balance between the people’s and the city’s needs putting sustainability at the forefront of design.
