Description

I participate in competition and conceptual design projects, leveraging the opportunity to collaborate with interior, sustainable and experience design teams to integrate eco-friendly solutions and enhance user experiences. Using Rhino, Grasshopper, and Blender, I optimize architectural forms, improve design efficiency, and create compelling visualizations.

I also conduct parametric design tutorials, fostering continuous learning and innovation. This blend of interdisciplinary methods and computational thinking drives my process, creating impactful and sustainable solutions.

Parametric Experiments

go to the site

Generative design uses algorithms and computational power to explore a vast array of design possibilities. By setting specific parameters and constraints, designers can harness the power of generative design to discover novel solutions that might not be apparent through traditional methods.

1. Optimization and Efficiency
2. Innovation through Exploration
3. Making Data-Driven Decisions

Art transcends language and boundaries, connecting people through universal elements. On a deeper level, it also unites different parts of an individual. Creating art is more than just producing a final piece; it's a journey that reflects inner struggles, hopes, and fears. This often serendipitous process leads to unexpected outcomes, fostering self-discovery and emotional expression. Balancing hope and fear, the act of creating art helps navigate internal feelings, resulting in a personal and transformative experience.
