Interests

 

Drawing & Photography

 

I am passionate about photography and sketching, as both allow me to observe and interpret the world in different ways. Photography sharpens my attention to detail, lighting, and composition, while quick, freehand sketches provide a more spontaneous and expressive way of capturing ideas and impressions. Together, these practices enrich my architectural work by combining careful observation with creative exploration.
