My work is deeply rooted in a fascination with how spaces shape human emotions and experiences.  I find meaning in creating environments that don’t just function but provoke thought, connection, and build a sense of community often focusing on accessibility and transformation

My approach is both meticulous and reflective, always seeking to push boundaries and tell meaningful stories through space. I’m especially drawn to projects that challenge me to think both critically and empathetically.

My process is about curiosity and exploration: constantly learning, experimenting, and finding extraordinary ways to express ideas. I’m passionate about understanding the bounds of space in its many dimensions, weaving together my love for interiors and writing, and using these tools to inspire others and create environments that feel deeply human.

Re(Generative)

This project is an exploration of material literacy, examining how materials communicate, interact, and shape identity. The investigation focuses on the potential transition from steel to cellulose, questioning how materiality can redefine structural and environmental narratives. A steel mine simulation was developed as a conceptual foundation, informing the construction of maquettes that juxtaposed steel and cellulose in varying configurations.

By engaging in a rigorous process of thinking through making, different material compositions, textures, and structural junctions were tested. This approach revealed an unexpected synergy between the two materials, both at a molecular and macro scale, suggesting a future where material interdependence fosters resilience and restoration.

The project ultimately challenges conventional perceptions of materiality, proposing a new language of material exchange—one where sustainability is not just a measure of efficiency but a dialogue between past and future material ecologies.
