Shaping Spaces and Experience
I am an architecture student and designer focused on spatial experience and human perception. My work explores how form, movement, and material shape emotion and interaction – balancing conceptual thinking with technical resolution.
Drawing inspiration from landscape, culture, and everyday rituals, I aim to create spaces that feel meaningful, intuitive, and alive. This portfolio reflects a practice driven by curiosity and a commitment to thoughtful design beyond the expected approach!
