ACADEMIC BACKGROUND:

I'm a second-year master's student in architecture at Riga Technical University.Inadditiontomyacademicwork,I'malwaysonthelookoutfor different possibilities to both broaden and deepen my expertise in my profession. This entails engaging in the three semesters of product design development as well as ongoing training in and practice with digital art. In addition, I've worked as an assistant at the architecture firmsADZ,ArchitectureandDesignStudio,andOUTOFBOXhereinLatvia, as well as participated in a project in Poland, and won a competition in Spain. All of this has aided me in developing novel approaches to architectural design by allowing me to examine my work from several perspectives. I deeply value the importance of utilizing both the history and surrounding traditions of each project when it comes to my own creations.
