MsC ETH Architecture

Architecture preserves traces of the past, tells stories, and connects people across time. I am inspired by how technical precision, an understanding of materials, and design come together to create vibrant, functional spaces. I take a holistic approach, communicate openly, and work in a structured and solution-oriented manner. With proactivity, a talent for improvisation, and a keen eye for detail, I find pragmatic yet aesthetic solutions. Curiosity, personal responsibility, and team spirit define my approach to work, as does the desire to design spaces with quality and clarity.

I am an architect with professional experience in Switzerland, combining a strong commitment to design quality with a solution-oriented and detail-focused approach. My work is shaped by the balance between technical precision, material awareness, and collaborative teamwork, always aiming to create thoughtful and functional spaces.

After completing my studies in Architecture at ETH Zurich, I focused on architectural competitions through several internships, building a strong conceptual and creative foundation. I later joined SGGK, where I worked on the planning of a large residential development in Zürich. The project required balancing architectural quality, construction efficiency, and diversity within a high-density housing complex. By carefully combining affordable materials, color concepts, and natural light, I contributed to creating spaces that were both economical and visuallyinspiredrefined.

I then worked at Angela Weber Möbel on the renovation of a high-end private residence, where I was involved in concept design and sourcing premium materials across Europe and coordinating with suppliers in Italy, England, Spain, and Belgium. This experience allowed me to further develop my skills in construction supervision, client communication, and architectural visualization within a highly detail-oriented environment.

Today, I work at Christian Eck Architektur, where I am involved in the creative development of projects through to the building permit application stage. My work includes concept design, project coordination, design development, and collaboration with clients, consultants, and authorities.

I work confidently with ArchiCAD, Adobe Creative Suite, and Lumion, and I enjoy taking responsibility within structured, independent, and team-oriented workflows. Clear communication with clients, planners, contractors, and authorities is an essential part of my daily practice. Italian is my native language, and I speak German and English at C1 level, as well as French and Spanish at B2 level.

I value high standards of design and craftsmanship just as much as a positive, collaborative working environment.
