Why did you choose architecture as a career?

In my teenage years playing The Sims made me realize how much fun architecture could be - and I wasn’t wrong. Modelling in Revit feels just like building mode in the game.

How do you deal with creative blocks?

When I hit a creative block, I travel to wherever I can. Exploring different cities, buildings, and art galleries keeps my creativity flowing and brings new ideas. Experiencing architecture in person always helps me see my work from a fresh perspective.

Who are your architectural role models?

In an industry dominated by men, Zaha Hadid stands out as my architectural role model. Her creativity, confidence, and charisma made her one of the most influential architects of modern times.

What recharges you on weekends?

During the week, my free time is usually packed with activities like gym sessions, dance classes, and yoga. So, on Sundays, I like to slow down and enjoy a lazy day - staying in bed and catching up on reading, experimenting with new recipes, or going to the cinema.
