A Multi-Disciplinary
Practice
A Trajectory
Across Continents
From a construction intern on a $50M+ luxury hospitality site to founder of an elite curatorial atelier — seven roles spanning Morocco, Italy, and independent practice.
Architect
Integrated BIM workflows (REVIT) to improve coordination and clash detection, increasing design precision and reducing on-site critical issues. Created innovative spatial solutions respecting aesthetic goals, budget, and regulatory constraints for premium residential and commercial spaces.
Architect Junior Intern
Contributed to conceptualizing bespoke industrial design elements for high-profile architectural projects, including furniture, lighting, and interior installations. Applied advanced 3D modeling (Rhino, Blender) and rendering (Lumion) for photorealistic visualizations and immersive walkthroughs. Coordinated cross-functional teams across three international time zones.
CEO & Founder — AETHEL
Founded and lead an elite, closed-circuit curatorial ecosystem for high-net-worth collectors and avant-garde visionaries. Orchestrated benefit auctions at Casa Museo with 60% of proceeds to NGO partners. Established bespoke commission service (from €3,000, 4–16 week cycles) and a 6–12 month artist residency program. Implemented the Philanthropic Protocol: 10% of every commission donated to vetted NGOs.
FeaturedFreelance Architectural Designer & Software Developer
Managed 12 diverse design projects, integrating Python and AI to improve design efficiency by 25% and achieving 95% client satisfaction. Delivered parametric design solutions, automated workflows, and computational design tools.
Junior Architect
Integrated BIM workflows (ARCHICAD) to improve project coordination and clash detection. Developed detailed construction documents and coordinated with engineering teams.
Intern — Urban Planning
Analyzed and interpreted urban regulations for 3 large-scale urban development initiatives, accelerating permit acquisition timelines by 20%.
Construction Intern
Assisted supervision of a $50M+ luxury hospitality project, contributing to completion of critical phases 2 weeks ahead of schedule.
Selected
Works
Six bodies of work — from the cultural landmark Erzulie to urban infrastructure, furniture systems, and independent commissions. Click any image to enlarge.
Erzulie
A cultural landmark weaving exposition galleries, a restaurant, and atmospheric night spaces into a single resonant architectural narrative.
Interior Design
Curated interiors for wellness centers and private villas — balancing material, light, and proportion into immersive spatial experiences.
Urban Projects
Urban-scale interventions — from the Agdal train station to public plazas — choreographing movement, ecology, and civic life.
Furniture Design
Industrial design from modular desktop systems to urban street furniture — parametric, sustainable, and materially precise.
Residential
A complete residential documentation set — plans, sections, and parking strategy for a multi-storey residential building.
Freelance
A spectrum of independent commissions — a music museum, a cabin in the wood, private villas, and an entertainment interior.
Architecture is the choreography of light, material, and motion — a resonance between computation and the human hand.
