My personal portfolio has gone through many iterationsiterations over the years, and this is the one that most resonates with me right now! I see creating art–from drawing with pencil to building digital spaces–as proof of my existence, so it’s nice to have this little internet corner where my creations are displayed: artwork, select journalism and essays (including my Bow Seat blogs!), research accomplishments, my precious Spotify playlists, and more!

I really encourage anyone thinking about building a website to just dive right in; it’s a great way to reach people, or showcase your organization, and it’s really fun making each design choice–it’s a labor of love! Please reach out if you have any questions, and I hope you can learn a bit more about how I think from it 🙂

This SeeAralSea magazine is an online magazine dedicated to increasing the environmental and cultural visibility of Central Asia and was created by 30+ volunteers from Central Asian countries. We designed two issues of an online “Read&SeeAralSea” magazine with 50 articles written in English and native languages of Central Asian countries. 

“Semipalatinsk Test Site: What the Oppenheimer movie didn’t mention”, “Tatty-Shai: Bridging Hearts and Teacups”, and “The diminishing Caspian Sea: A Call for Urgent Action” are some of the articles our youth wrote for the magazine. Located in Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, the Aral Sea is our globally known natural treasure and we help the world “see” Central Asia. 

Alongside my co-founder, Angelina, I started the first Central European chapter of the global, teen-led nonprofit INTEGIRLS, dedicated to closing the gender gap in STEM education.

We have hosted various events across Berlin, including expert career talks, Pi Day celebrations, and math contestswhere every participant walked away with a prize. Seeing the excitement on girls’ faces as they make new friends and engage with female experts in their aspirational fields is always profoundly gratifying.

Originally a blog spotlighting various architectural feats, Archinspires has evolved to reflect my growing interest in structural engineering, particularly projects that promote carbon-free, green cities.

I launched this platform not only to pursue my interest in writing but also as a way to stay updated on real-world engineering and architectural endeavors. Keep your eyes out for the next entry!
