Art and design have always marveled me, for that reason I chose to study architecture where I discovered that there is more than just building a beautiful exterior or just thinking architecture as an investment. It is about creating spaces where art and design can be expressed in multiple ways and thought as one element combining the exterior and the interior. In addition, I am a strong believer in the ability and the impact of the architecture and research combined with design thinking for strengthening our societies and having a positive effect on the world Among other things, I am fascinated by lighting design, set designs and event design planning as well as my passion for photography. Therefore, I am planning to expand my knowledge in the scenography field that combines all these elements and gain more experience in it

The influence of pedagogy on architecture

I completed my Parts 1 & 2 at the CVUT-FA  in  Prague in 1990 and my Part 3 at De Montfort University in Leicester in 2004.

I worked 10 years in the Seychelles post university graduation on a variety of project sectors. I then moved to the UK for 12 years, where my main focus was in the residential and industrial sectors.

I then returned to the Seychelles 7 years ago, where my focus expanded from residential and industrial to include tourism  office buildings, banks and edcuation sectors. However, the mainstay of the Practice remains in Tourism and residential sectors.
