Summary

Working in customer-facing roles has strengthened my communication, time management, and problem-solving skills. As a cashier, I gained experience in organized, fast-paced environments where accuracy and visual clarity were essential qualities that also play a vital role in architectural presentation and project management. As a waitress, I developed a deep understanding of how spatial layouts and atmosphere affect user comfort, circulation, and overall experience insights that continue to influence my human-centered design approach.

I am a curious and creative interior architecture student with a strong passion for design and visual storytelling. Outside of academics, I have a deep interest in motorcycles, not just as vehicles, but as expressions of engineering and design. I enjoy exploring different models, learning about their technical features, and following motor culture. This passion has helped me develop a sharp eye for detail, form, and function, which I also bring into my design work. I'm always eager to learn, try new things, and connect with others who share diverse interests.
