My personal interests in art, culture, and wildlife offer me various avenues to explore in the realm of design, each with unique inspirations. I am eager for opportunities that foster learning and growth by engaging with multidisciplinary projects that encompass different sectors.

My project ‘Subterranean Futures’ envisions a community that resides underground—a collective of families seeking refuge from extreme weather and conflicts above ground.
This community embraces the principles of self-sustainability and reduced consumption, supported by a set of systems designed based on physiological and safety needs.

Subterranean Futures challenges contemporary ideologies of living and revitalises communities as integral to the concept of dwelling, reshaping the paradigm that will define our future.
