“Everyonedeservesadecentplace toliveandtodream.”
I believe that architecture is essential to elevate the quality of human experience in all spectrum of activities. Humanity is inevitably attracted to beauty and harmony, thus successful design has subtle yet powerful impacts on how people see and interact with the city fabric, community, and his/her place of living. Built environments may then extend beyond containing spaces: it has the ability to accelerate progress towards a greener life and a more sustainable society.
Bringing these ideals throughout my personal and professional experience, I am looking forward to opportunities that allow me to be part of this positive affluent of architecture, while significantly improving my skills and expertise.
