About Me
Ever since I was old enough to express my imagination (and was introduced to the life-changing author Neil Gaiman), I have been writing stories.
In secret. In my diary. In letters sent to friends and family.
It was the natural thing to do.. for a shy kid with a love for words.
Then I decided to study architecture in 2008 and work in the creative field; I've been there ever since. Don't get me wrong, I love architecture.
But as a renaissance soul, my passion for storytelling kept growing.
A firm believer that architecture and storytelling are correlated, I created Wrichitects, an educational platform aimed at helping architects and designers write about their projects from a creative storytelling point of view and fall in love with the art of writing.
