She is currently working as a senior landscape architect in Gillespies, an award-winning landscape architecture and urban design practice in UK. She develops, alternates and criticizes design and drawings for the delivery of landscape architecture projects of several stages. She demonstrates an understanding of the relationship between design and constructability by frequently focusing on site inspections and construction supervisions. She manages the project coordination phases of multiple projects with multiple disciplines and in addition she takes role in managing client relationship. She supports in preparation of proposals, participate in public presentations and collaborates with decision-makers in developing requirements. She loves to design computer-based architectural visuals, idea diagrams and schemes, plus renderings for project presentations and thus, one of her main motives is to draw freehand sketches and combine traditional practices with digital platforms.
