HELLO! | はじめまして!

I am a blend of Japanese and Filipino heritage, born in Japan and raised in Malaysia and Australia. My multicultural background shapes my approach to design, blending diverse influences. Since my teenage years, I've been passionate about sketching and designing, always aiming to create unique, positive spaces for people.

Inspired by the simplicity and minimalist beauty of Japanese architecture, I strive to incorporate these elements into my work. Based in Brisbane, Queensland, I bring 15 years of combined university and professional experience in the building design industry. My expertise covers residential, multi-residential, commercial, educational, hospital, fit-out, industrial, and master planning projects. As a BIM manager, I use technology to enhance design precision and efficiency.

Work & Qualification

I am a registered architect in Queensland under the Board of Architects of Queensland (BOAQ), having obtained my registration in 2024.

I hold a Master’s degree in Architecture from Queensland University of Technology (QUT), completed in 2019. This academic foundation, combined with several years of practical experience, has equipped me with strong design capabilities and a thoughtful approach to creating innovative and functional spaces.

Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work across a range of architectural practices—from small studios to large multidisciplinary firms—gaining diverse experience and insights. Along the way, I’ve been fortunate to learn from inspiring mentors who have helped shape my confidence and broaden my professional skill set.

This combination of education, hands-on experience, and mentorship enables me to deliver high-quality design solutions tailored to each project’s unique context and requirements.
