About Me

Architecture, for me, is a balance of precision and purpose—an ongoing effort to shape environments that are thoughtful, functional, and deeply rooted in context. With over a decade of experience in New York City and the Middle East, I’ve worked across a wide spectrum of building types, from high-density urban developments to civic, educational, and residential projects. My focus lies in guiding complex projects from early design through construction, managing every stage with care—from zoning and code compliance to consultant coordination and construction administration. Working in New York has refined my understanding of regulatory frameworks and public processes, while my background in the Middle East has shaped a sensitivity to cultural identity, materiality, and place. I believe architecture is most powerful when it quietly improves daily life. Whether navigating the demands of a city block or the expectations of a community, I bring clarity, adaptability, and a commitment to delivering design that endures.

My Story

At a young age, I found it difficult to communicate through words. It wasn’t until I was six years old that I began to develop my speaking skills later than most children. During those formative years, drawing became my primary language. Sketching and visual expression weren’t just tools they were my voice. My passion for architecture began with a simple three-dimensional sketch on a post-it note when I was four. That single drawing sparked a lifelong relationship with space, form, and the built environment. I quickly developed a natural understanding of spatial experience how spaces are shaped, perceived, and felt. I would spend hours redrawing the floor plans of my family home and my school, observing buildings around me and translating them into sketches. My parents recognized this early talent and gave me their full support, encouraging me to nurture and develop it. That early passion led me to pursue a degree in architecture, where I consistently ranked among the top students. Throughout my five years of architectural education, I earned first-place awards in design studios and maintained a place on the university’s honor list every year. I was later offered a full PhD scholarship, but I turned it down not out of disinterest, but out of a deep desire to immediately practice and fully dedicate myself to the profession I knew I was meant for. Although my formal professional experience began in 2011, my architectural journey started nearly 30 years ago. It was shaped by a unique beginning one that taught me the power of visual language, the importance of space, and the joy of transforming imagination into reality.
