Emergency Architecture, Shelter and Settlements
My foundation addresses the immediate needs of disaster zones by providing emergency shelters and designing sustainable settlements. I believe functionality, cultural sensitivity, and resilience through community engagement are key ingredients for successful shelter projects. This allows communities to rebuild not just homes, but hope.

Through engaging lectures, hands-on workshops, and managing impactful research projects, I share my knowledge and foster a generation passionate about humanitarian design. My foundation actively supports innovative solutions to address the ever-evolving needs of communities facing disaster.
Creative Skills

Photography and Storytelling
The power of photography and storytelling is undeniable. I use these tools to document the devastating impact of disasters while highlighting the unwavering resilience of the individuals and communities I work with. These stories become powerful advocates, inspiring action and encouraging philanthropic support for those most vulnerable.
Design and Web
Beyond simply being part of a larger website, my design expertise goes further. I offer comprehensive design services including logo creation, user-friendly web design, and professional business card design. This allows your organization or business to establish a strong visual identity and effectively communicate your mission to the world.
