About 

As a designer, I like to lead projects from the feasibility study to drawing out a solution and then follow its implementation.
I'm always looking for new challenges to expand my expertise in design.

I started out as a landscape designer and after some formative internships and enriching experiences, I decided to broaden my field of action and take advantage of my skills in architecture and interior design. I’ve been working closely with architects, engineers, and designers for 6 years as a study manager/designer, on different public projects.
