About
About me
Being involved in todays architectural industry is my childhood dream that is now in practice
Driven by a lifelong passion, I want to transform architectural visions and ideas into reality.
My passion lies in transforming architectural visions into tangible realities. As a Graduated Architect, I believe in the profound ability of design to identify and solve real-world problems. I’m dedicated to developing unique solutions that perfectly address the existing context or specific client needs, always guided by the principle that architecture should be a singular design for an eternity. My proficiency in BIM and visualization software empowers me to bring these lasting structures to life with precision and efficiency.
My journey began at age twelve, captivated by the genius of Antoni Gaudí in Barcelona—a moment that ignited a lifelong passion for design and a drive to challenge the conventional. This early inspiration fuels my current approach: to see beyond limitations and convert every complex challenge into an opportunity for innovation.
As a recent Architect graduate, I have learned to leverage advanced BIM and visualization software with expert precision, from initial conceptualization in Revit and Archicad to compelling client presentations crafted in InDesign and Illustrator. Beyond technical prowess, my experience as a team leader at Leie Yachting honed my ability to navigate high-pressure situations and manage critical responsibilities, while my time at B architecten provided invaluable insight into seamless project administration and company operations.
I am not only dedicated to pushing creative boundaries but also deeply committed to understanding and embracing diverse global architectural cultures, ensuring a well-rounded and informed design perspective. If you are seeking an architect who combines unwavering passion, innovative problem-solving, and a comprehensive skill set to deliver exceptional and forward-thinking results, I am poised to exceed your expectations.
