Favorite thing about being at Georgia Tech: The collaborative and innovative atmosphere in the College of Design. Georgia Tech's focus on technology and interdisciplinary approaches allows us to explore cutting-edge design tools and sustainable building techniques. The opportunity to work on projects in Atlanta's urban environment is incredibly inspiring!
Who do you want to design for? I am committed to designing for communities in need of sustainable and affordable housing solutions. I believe architects must have a clear 'why' guiding our design process. This purpose-driven approach enables us to create spaces that not only improve quality of life and promote social interaction but also respect and harmonize with the environment. I strive to design spaces that are not just practical and eco-friendly but also create meaningful architectural experiences.
What do you do for fun? In my free time, I’m always looking up recipes on YouTube and trying out new dishes. Anything that can challenge me! If not this, then I’m always drinking coffee.
