About

I am a multidisciplinary designer with a strong focus on architecture, construction, and sustainability, bringing together design thinking and technical rigor to deliver efficient, buildable solutions. I regularly use parametric design methods to optimize form, performance, and material efficiency, and leverage advanced tools such as VR and 3D printing to communicate design intent clearly to clients and project stakeholders. Driven by continuous learning, I stay current with emerging technologies and industry trends, and I enjoy contributing to collaborative teams that value innovation, constructability, and sustainable design outcomes. Outside design work, you’ll often find me engaged in outdoor activities like running, hiking and cycling. These interests have led me to complete marathons, lead a 500kms Himalayan bicycle journey and scuba diving certification. My love for learning and travel has taken me to 15 countries, where I've worked in three. My passion for designing and cycling keeps me focused and anxiety-free.
