What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to apply my design skills in a collaborative environment focused on sustainability and innovation.

I am an Urban Planning and Design graduate with a BSc from Wollega University, where I honed my skills in creating innovative urban design solutions. My practical experience includes utilizing tools such as AutoCAD, GIS, QGIS, Illustrator, and SketchUp, which have equipped me to tackle complex urban challenges effectively.

One of my notable projects involved assessing the impact of urban heat islands in downtown Nekemte, where I focused on resident perspectives and environmental sustainability. I am eager to apply my technical skills and design vision in an Urban Designer position, contributing to impactful and sustainable urban environments.
