Summary

Architect by training, sustainability expert by passion — I bring a strong foundation in architecture (B.Arch + M.Arch) and specialize in green building design, holding credentials as both a LEED Green Associateand IGBC Accredited Professional.

With a deep commitment to environmental responsibility, I blend design sensibility with technical precision. I have successfully led projects from inception to certification, navigating every stage — from conceptual strategies and technical calculations to final submission and compliance review. I thrive on solving challenging credits, turning complex sustainability requirements into actionable, results-driven solutions.

Fluent in documentation of all credits and well-versed in LEED and IGBC frameworks, I bring clarity and confidence to documentation, coordination, and communication. Whether it's daylight analysis, fresh air provisions, or water and energy efficiency calculations, I approach every task with analytical rigor and a collaborative mindset.

Fuelled by innovation, I aim not only to meet sustainability goals but to exceed them — contributing to projects that are not just green on paper, but impactful in practice.
