influences of my family, who have inspired me to incorporate creativity into every project. My curiosity about how structures are assembled drives my dedication to design details. In my work, I have relentless drive, excellent time management, and precision in handling responsibilities. I strive to ensure that art remains a visible and integral part of every project, no matter the scale.

RECENT ART BY ME!
• This Christmas, I decided to create watercolor paintings of my loved ones’ favorite places. After my travels abroad, I felt inspired by the incredible art I encountered and knew I had to channel that cooped-up creativity. Getting back into watercoloring has been a fulfilling way to express myself, and I’m excited to share something other than architecture work.
