About Me

 

From the moment I made up my mind to become an architect at the tender age of seven, my journey has weaved through an array of unique and enriching experiences that have both shaped and deepened my commitment to architecture. My early fascination with the sciences and mathematics during my high school years laid a solid foundation for my future studies, yet it was my struggle and perseverance in mastering languages that took my journey on an unexpected detour. This challenge steered me towards diverse international schools, including Newbury Hall School, St Clare’s in Oxford, English Language Centre Bristol, and Alliance Francaise de Rouen in Normandy, where I honed my linguistic skills and gathered a treasure trove of international exposure.

 

Venturing out of my comfort zone, these experiences did not merely enrich my linguistic abilities but also broadened my understanding of various cultures and architectural styles. They left an indelible mark on my design perspective, teaching me to appreciate the value of diversity and the influence of culture on architecture.

 

Following high school, I decided to delve deeper into my passion by undertaking a ‘Short course in Interior Design’ at Marangoni in Milan, which was followed by volunteer work in Nepal with Raleigh International. Both experiences further shaped my vision of architecture and my role within it. In September 2019, I embarked on my architectural studies at Hasselt University in Belgium with great enthusiasm, navigating through three intense yet utterly fascinating years, culminating with high distinction.

 

A summer internship at RE-ST in Antwerp solidified my love for architecture and reinforced my belief that this field is my true calling. The opportunity to apply theory in practice and receive direct feedback from seasoned professionals was invaluable.

 

Through my academic and professional experiences, I have developed a profound appreciation for the complexity of urban fabrics and the crucial role architecture plays in creating livable, dynamic communities. My work reflects a deep understanding of the Genius Loci - the unique atmosphere of a place - and underscores the importance of context, culture, and craftsmanship in architecture.

 

I firmly believe in the power of architecture to transform communities and effect positive change. With a foundation built on international experiences, academic excellence, and a deep passion for the field, I am ready to share my unique vision of architecture with the world.
