Summary
Originally Armenian, I grew up and lived in Lebanon before moving to Australia to pursue my passion for building design. With a background in jewelry design and goldsmithing, I developed strong attention to detail, creativity, and hands-on skills. Studying building design has always been a dream for me, and I am now looking to gain real-life experience in the industry while completing my studies.
