ABOUT
ME
Growing up I fondly remember having both parents involved in the art scene. Being part of gallery exhibitions and deep discussions during gatherings made me drawn and attentive to the artistic and creative world of Design.
Therefore when choosing my academic path, I wanted a field that combined my interests in logical and creative thinking as well as problem solving. I learned about Architecture and felt drawn to the unique mix of engineering with the focus on design and aesthetics. I successfully finished my Bachelor's in 2018 then began my professional career in a Consulting company for two years dealing with on & off-site tasks.
I continued to follow my passion for Design by pursuing a Masters Degree in Design and Engineering. Which enriched my perspective as an architect to not only design the space we occupy but also be attentive to the daily objects we interact with, giving me a holistic design approach in my work.
