Meet the Firm
Q: Why is Architecture your passion?
A: Architecture has been a constant in my life ever since I can remember. I believe in its importance as one of the major parts of culture. I want to continue advancing our industry and represent people who not only look like me but also inspire the next class of students to become interested in Architecture, too.
Q: Is Architecture just about buildings?
A: It actually covers a wide variety of studies, tools, and skills, and can even branch into other industries. I am always adding new skills to my design toolbox.

Gather here.
“…to gather signifies more than physical assembly; it reflects a collective spirit rooted in harmony, respect, and shared experience. Gathering is seen as an act of community and mindfulness—whether in a tea ceremony, a festival, or an architectural space—where individuals unite not only to coexist but also to create meaning together. This notion values the atmosphere and emotional resonance of the encounter as much as the event itself…”
