About:
Hi! I’m an architecture graduate from IUAV Venice and Parsons The New School in New York.
With over five years of experience in Yerevan, Armenia, and one year in Paris, France, my portfolio showcases both architectural concepts and built interior designs.
In my projects, I handle the design, create photorealistic or illustrational visualizations, produce all the working drawings, and coordinate with various suppliers, professionals, and contractors such as electricians, furniture makers, and builders. I also visit the construction site to monitor the process, ensuring that the project is executed according to the design.
In all my projects, I collaborate closely with clients to ensure the space reflects their unique character and lifestyle, whether for living, working, or other purposes. I always introduce a distinct touch—through color, accents, or special features—making each design stand out while maintaining a personalized feel.
