About me
I am a creative and ambitious second year architecture student. My passion for art from a young age made me perceive architecture from a different perspective, realizing this is what I want to study in the future. I am eager to learn, to experiment in order to grow and further improve my knowledge and skills. I have a genuine interest in solving urban issues and making the environment a better place to live.
