Architectural Concepts with sensitivity & harmony.

Mission
Architecture with Meaning
My approach to architecture and design is to create spaces and experiences that reflect my love for light and color, and that inspire us to feel joy, creativity, connection and a sense of meaning, almost as if each space had a soul, a life to live and a story to tell.
Aside from my playful artistic side, I really enjoy working with floor plans; the challenge of finding the perfect flow and logic to the rhythm of the spaces. I aim to design layouts that not only feel intuitive and clearly structured, but also include a layer of luxury and a few unexpected spatial delights.
​
As a woman, one of my superpowers in architectural design is the ability to empathize deeply; I step into the emotions, daily routines, and sensory experiences of those who will inhabit the space. Whether it's a child creating their first memories in a safe place to play, explore, imagine, and return to, or an elderly person navigating the joys and challenges of their twilight years.
​
For me, an inseparable part of the design process is moving between creating spaces with clear conceptual logic where every design choice has a reason, and stepping back into the shoes of the user. It's a constant dance between logic and emotion.
About me
Designing with Intuition
I've had synesthesia since childhood, which means my brain blends senses—like seeing colors when I think of numbers or days. That way of perceiving the world shapes how I design and experience architecture. Architectural ideas often come to me through various senses: a mood, a certain color palette, the quality of light, even sounds or tastes. This sensory intuition helps me create spaces that feel immersive, emotional, and alive for the people who use them.
​
I’ve always been drawn to lightness, warmth, and the kind of joyful, familial atmosphere you find in shows like Modern Family (one of my favorites)—and that same love shapes the spaces I create. Alongside architecture, my passion for acting has taught me to step into different lives and emotions, which helps me empathize with the users and imagine how they’ll experience a space. I always start by envisioning life within it, then design the best possible environment to support and inspire it.
