How did your interest in design and architecture develop?

My interest in design and architecture developed from my love for the arts. My dad inspires me; he had diverse artistic abilities, from drawing and painting to fixing things around the house and cooking. His ability to learn and perfect his skills has inspired me to become a multifaceted designer.

What drew you to Multistudio?

During my final semester at ASU, Steve Valev was a professor, and I got to know several designers from Multistudio during that time. It was a different process from any other studio I had previously been in, and I appreciated the new perspectives on my work. I was also drawn in by the vast field of strengths the diverse team Multistudio has, which I can learn from and have a voice even as a young designer.

What are your goals while collaborating at Multistudio?

Being a part of a Multistudio, one of my main goals is to further my overall knowledge in every aspect I can. One of my goals is to be a designer in multiple fields, and I have already begun this goal by being a part of various experiences. Another goal is to learn how to improve my process to comprehend communities and their initiatives better.

Where do you find your inspiration?

I find inspiration from various places like my childhood, family, and culture. There is inspiration all around us—in the natural and digital worlds; it’s about studying it through multiple lenses. I love to find inspiration from my personal life but also from others to learn how to create projects that are true to themselves.
