As An Accomplished Architectural Designer

I have dedicated my career to crafting designs that prioritize meticulous attention to detail and the use of high-quality materials in order to achieve a harmonious balance of design elements. With over five years of experience in the industry, I possess a deep understanding of the fundamental principles of design and construction.

My passion for architecture was ignited when I read an article by Kengo Kuma, whose philosophy of creating architecture that is both visually appealing and functional resonated deeply with me. In order to fully comprehend his words, I immersed myself in the art of sushi-making, spending two years learning from a Japanese sushi chef with 40 years of experience. Through this experience, I developed an eye for detail and an artistic sensibility that I now bring to my design work.
