Summary

Born in South Africa and raised across Rwanda and Burundi, I have always been immersed in diverse cultures, shaping my ability to adapt, explore, and understand the built environment through different perspectives. From an early age, I developed a deep curiosity about how spaces influence human interactions and daily life. My academic journey reflects this drive—I pursued a high school education in Mathematics, Physics, and Technology, which laid a strong analytical foundation for my passion for architecture.

I began my bachelor's studies in Warsaw, Poland, and am now completing them in Prague, Czech Republic, experiences that have enriched my architectural approach with both technical precision and a global outlook. To further broaden my understanding, I spent three and a half months in Paris, France, immersing myself in a new architectural landscape, refining my design skills, and engaging with innovative urban environments.

With experience in developing floor plans, conducting site analyses, and working with tools like Revit and AutoCAD, I am passionate about creating thoughtful, sustainable, and contextually responsive spaces. My background has given me an innate ability to navigate different cultures and architectural traditions, making me highly adaptable and eager to contribute to projects that shape meaningful, livable environments.
