RESUME

Brief ​
info​​
I am a highly motivated, hardworking architect, believing that creativity is a key issue for efficient solutions.
Over the past years, I have worked as an architect and as an environmental consultant for projects of various scales.
Spending my student and professional life in four different countries, I have trained myself to efficiently cooperate and swiftly adapt to multicultural and multilingual environments.
Considering that architecture requires a good understanding of all different fields involved in a project, I achieved to create a multi-disciplinary profile. Thus, my work includes both architectural and urban design projects and also research projects such as the conception of an environmental design guide.
