Construction and Art High School
The first architecture plan I drew was in the first year of high school, where I studied construction. From the second year, I transferred to the High School of Art, where I studied architecture.

Experience
My journey into architecture began in high school.

High school years
-
University of Architecture in Bucharest
After graduating from high school, I went to Bucharest and got into the University of Architecture, where I studied for six years, covering planning, construction materials, structures, mechanics, interior architecture, product design, and architecture history. I graduated at the end of 2013.
-
London
In 2014, an unexpected opportunity brought me to London, where I began working as a Part II Architectural Assistant. Over the following years, I gained invaluable experience working on high-end residential and hospitality projects, learning the UK Building Regulations and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams throughout every stage of the design process.
-
Classical architecture
Starting in 2017, I changed offices to learn more about classical architecture, working on an amazing five-star hotel in the heart of London, composed of three beautiful listed buildings. On all the projects I worked on during my time in the UK, I was involved in the architectural design as well as the interior design, and the hotel project was no exception.
-
University of Westminster
At the same time, I studied for my Part III at the University of Westminster, from which I graduated with a Postgraduate Diploma in Architecture in 2019. It was a very big achievement for me, and I am really proud of it.
-
A five-star hotel in Greece
Moving forward in my career, in the same year I started working on the interior design, initially for a five-star hotel in Greece, where eventually I also completed the planning for three additional villas. Since 2020, I have been continuously managing the design on site.
-
Feng Shui
Those questions led me to study Feng Shui in 2022. Rather than replacing architecture, it expanded the way I approached design, allowing me to understand not only the physical qualities of a space but also the way it influences the people living within it.
-
Greece and Romania
Since 2023, I have become more aware of the energy of spaces and how it can be affected and redefined. I had all this in mind when I designed another five-star hotel in Greece in 2025, and throughout all the other projects I have undertaken in Romania.

ARHSOUL
As a synthesis of my entire experience, I decided to open this studio, ARHSOUL, to offer my interior design services globally. I also offer Feng Shui consultation services for homes and offices. I warmly invite you to a free 20-minute consultation!
Working together
I believe every space tells a story.
My role isn't to impose a style, but to listen, understand, and translate your lifestyle, values, and aspirations into a space that supports the way you want to live and work. Whether it's a family home, a hospitality project, or an office, I approach each design with curiosity, care, and the intention of creating environments that feel balanced, purposeful, and truly aligned with the people who use them.
