Environmental Design: Interior Design Specialization
“Imagine a world where every building seamlessly integrates with its environment, where sustainability is not an afterthought but the very foundation of design”
As an artist and designer with a passion for creating spaces that harmonize with nature, I merge innovative architectural concepts with eco-conscious principles. From energy-efficient structures to green urban landscapes, my designs not only inspire awe but also leave a lasting positive impact on the planet.Growing up between Ontario and Abu Dhabi provided me with a unique perspective on both natural and urban environments. In Ontario, surrounded by the lush greenery and changing seasons, I developed a deep appreciation for the beauty and resilience of nature. This connection with the environment instilled in me a desire to create designs that work in harmony with the natural world.On the other hand, living in Abu Dhabi exposed me to the challenges of urban development in arid climates. The stark contrast between the desert landscape and the ambitious architectural projects inspired me to explore innovative solutions for sustainable design. Beyond my focused major here at OCAD U, I've explored different ways to express myself and develop my artistic abilities, through ceramics, screen printing, jewelry and sculpture; among many other mediums. I've also served as the Co-Vice President of RenderED-Environmental Design Student Association.
