About Me
I’m an interdisciplinary architect with PhD training in Environmental Psychology, combining user-centered design with a deep understanding of human behavior. I design spaces that are not only functional but also foster connection, well-being, and a sense of belonging. With hands-on experience studying human-environment interactions, I approach each project with curiosity, empathy, and a focus on meaningful, adaptable design.
