I’m deeply passionated about shaping a future where our built environment is more sustainable, socially responsible and community focused. My approach involves co-building, incorporating local people and their knowledge. In my studies I have developed a strong design research skill, focussing on the social-cultural context of urban-landscapes. Using the narratives of the city as base for spatial transformations, to achieve positive social impact. With an adventurous spirit, I bring an open and creative mindset to tackle challenges in architecture, city-making, and urbanism.
