“Cities have the capability of providing something for everybody, only because, and only when, they are created by everybody.” — Jane Jacobs

“I focus on creating spaces that amplify unheard voices and reveal unseen presences—those who have been marginalized. I believe architecture transcends a purely structural role, serving as a gathering place where people can put down roots and flourish. Moreover, I strive to design environments that give resonance to stories long silenced. I believe our ideal space comes to life right here and now, when individual voices connect to form a richer collective harmony. To achieve this, my goal is to craft spaces that organically weave together nature, technology, and everyday human experience—environments that provide rest and renewal to weary bodies and minds.This design vision also underpins my thesis project, “Sprout Abundance For All.” Each abandoned building holds a story waiting to be told, and I have sought to germinate these narratives as “Seeds of Opportunity,” transforming them into nodes of regeneration. I envision these spaces as a blend of local history, seasonal rhythms, and human connection—and the resulting designs will act as catalysts for social healing, helping us realize a richer, more resilient urban environment.”
