I am an architect with over 12 years of international experience across Europe and the Middle East. Originally from Lithuania, I spent 12 years working in Dubai on projects ranging from large-scale developments and infrastructure to commercial and public buildings. I am passionate about the connection between design and construction, particularly problem-solving, technical coordination and seeing ideas become reality. In 2026, I moved to Auckland with my family and am embracing a new architectural environment, bringing my international experience while learning from the New Zealand context. I am currently working towards NZRAB registration.
Showcase
Single Residential Villa, Dubai
I developed the initial architectural concept for the two-level “5K Square” modular villa, one of a collection of residential typologies offered by LOCI to local clients. My role included developing the design concept, exploring flexible configuration options based on client requirements and available plot GFA, and resolving architectural details to maintain a clean and minimal aesthetic through subsequent design stages. I also supported the early structural and MEP coordination, working with the relevant consultants to ensure the architectural concept was effectively integrated with the technical requirements of the project.

Project Architect
A single-family residential dwelling, Vilnius
I designed and delivered a private residence, taking responsibility for the project from concept and design development through to construction and completion. I was involved in developing the architectural design, coordinating consultants and contractors, selecting materials and finishes, resolving technical and construction details, and overseeing the work on site. Working on my own home allowed me to be closely involved in every stage of the process and to explore the relationship between architectural design, functionality, materials and everyday living.
