In the studio:
I’m most inspired by nature, its growth forms, how it sustains itself and re-invents itself continuously; mainly because it ignites curiosity and provides serenity at once. Being a metropolitan by default, my interest within architecture lies in creating enclaves within the urban context which create integrated interfaces of nature and the city life. 6 years of experience in the design and making of things, particularly in digital design and computerized crafting. Working knowledge in BIM software, advanced visualisation skills. Cross-disciplinary thinking and my zeal for inventive research-based solutions.
An honours degree; being part of the delivery of multiple interactive public art installations; delivering the complex forms of the Summit House staircases.
One amazing fact:
Spinning a full glass 360 degrees anti-gravity, without spilling.
Outside the studio:
Overbooking my days with music gigs, working on my next 3D artwork or jewellery design, finding ways to trot to the nearest destination to recharge on sunshine.
