Summary
I'm an architecture student who loves turning ideas into space—whether it's through Rhino or a rough cardboard model. I grew up obsessed with building blocks and city-building games, and that curiosity turned into a hands-on approach to design. Beyond digital tools, I'm equally into sketching and making physical models. For me, the best part of architecture is the moment when something in your head starts to exist in the real world.
