ABOUT (01)

Recent Work.

A curated set of projects from the past months. Clean UI, clear structure, and fast delivery. Designed in Figma and built in React and Tailwind when needed.

Portrait

I bridge practice and research to deliver evidence-led, human-centred architecture. My work focuses on the sustainable development of the built environment, leveraging openBIM standards and digital methods to improve clarity, coordination, and long-term performance.

From 2019–2025 at Atelier Geometria I worked across architecture and urban planning, supporting projects from concept through execution. I contribute to industry standardization via buildingSMART (bSDD) and design workflows that are structured, transparent, and collaboration-first.

Away from the desk I'm an Advanced Open Water diver and ski lover. I sketch and paint occasionally, keep a "Green Reader" mindset for continuous learning, and daydream about returning to Japan.
