As a designer, I am one that has high respect to the existing environment. It is one of the things that I always remember from Theory of Architecture class; the Context. It is defined as the relationship between the building and its environment. I make it my duty to design a space that is aligned with the existing environment and be fit to its intended use.

I also think that design goes beyond pleasing the eyes; I think that we should also optimize the user experience. This is why I incorporate three things into designing: psychology, science, and history. I first try to study the users; I learn about their preferences, their habits, and their routines. Then, I incorporate these knowledge with anthrophometrics for comfort and better movement. And finally, I analyze the history and culture into where the design will be and try to incorporate them with the design.

I have worked in numerous projects like parks, residences, resorts, and commercial spaces for high-profile persons, politicians, and other private individuals. In additon, I have worked on Interior Design projects like kitchens, bedrooms, and co-working spaces.

I use CAD software like AutoCAD and SketchUp for the design development, and I use Lumion for architectural visualization. I also use Photoshop and Autodesk Sketchbook for presentation.
