Having had the chance to study abroad has given me the great opportunity to learn from exceptional professionals from different cultures. Architecture for me is a passion and a compromise to prepare each design with care and ethics. I have also had the experience to learn from college students during my time as a professor. Living here in New York has given me a new challenge, to follow my passion for holistic design.
