Personal Statement
As a graduate in Interior Architecture and Design, I am driven by a passion for creating environments that elevate the human experience and foster meaningful connections. My exposure to both creative design and practical project management, through experiences such as my internship at KME Architects and participation in industry events like HD 2023, has deepened my commitment to designing spaces that combine functionality, aesthetic appeal, and sustainability.
I am particularly drawn to the hospitality industry because it offers an opportunity to influence how people experience the worldâwhether through innovative hotel designs, dynamic dining spaces, or serene wellness retreats. My educational journey has equipped me with the technical skills of FF&E planning and space design, while my previous career as a statistical analyst has instilled in me a meticulous attention to detail and the ability to manage complex projects.
Joining NEWH aligns perfectly with my aspirations to contribute meaningfully to hospitality design. The organizationâs commitment to fostering innovation and supporting emerging professionals resonates with my desire to continuously learn, collaborate, and push the boundaries of design excellence. I am eager to connect with industry leaders, share ideas, and contribute to projects that positively impact both guests and the communities they inhabit.
Through NEWH, I aim to expand my expertise, make lasting contributions to the hospitality industry, and inspire others to create designs that leave an indelible mark on the human experience.
