I am an avid researcher and designer with a keen interest in urban and landscape studies. Drawing from my experience in article writing and architecture, I excel in effectively communicating complex ideas. My passion for design spans diverse scales, from urban planning to designing tiny objects, all centered around human perception. Whether it’s interior design, sets, urban planning, or ecological landscapes, I find inspiration in creating spaces that resonate with people. Currently, my focus is on implementing minimally intrusive interventions to enhance public participation and revitalize neglected urban areas. Ultimately, my goal is to enrich communities by contributing to the evolution of urban landscapes, leaving a lasting positive impact on how people experience and interact with their surroundings.
