My Approach.
International Perspective and Design Approach:
My experience working in London has significantly shaped my design philosophy, providing me with a strong international perspective. I developed a holistic approach to landscape architecture, blending urban complexity with innovative solutions to create spaces that are both functional and aesthetically impactful.
Project Management and Coordination:
During my career, I took on key project management roles, overseeing both large-scale and medium-scale projects. This included collaboration with multidisciplinary teams and coordination with local authorities, which sharpened my ability to manage complex design processes effectively.
Sustainability and Innovation:
Working in the UK introduced me to advanced sustainable design practices. I was actively involved in incorporating sustainable strategies into projects, from green infrastructure to environmentally responsive design solutions, which are now central to my work.
Familiarity with International Regulations:
One of the key advantages of my UK experience is my understanding of international and UK-specific planning regulations. This knowledge allows me to approach projects with a comprehensive awareness of legal and environmental requirements, ensuring that the designs are not only creative but also compliant and resilient.
Collaboration with Global Experts:
The exposure to a dynamic international environment allowed me to work alongside architects, engineers, and landscape architects from various parts of the world, further enriching my design approach and expanding my ability to adapt to different cultural and urban contexts.
