I am an architectural rendering artist and licensed interior designer from Riga, Latvia, currently based in New York. I am enrolled in the 5 year B.arch program at the New York Institute of Technology. Architecture's power to offer inclusiveness to the disabled, affordable housing to the less privileged, and sustainable design for global environmental impact is what excites me to pursue a career in this field. In my free time, I am an active participant in the organization Freedom by Design and the senator of the AIAS NYIT chapter.
