My name is Halima Shakeel, and I am currently in my foundation year of Architecture. I am from the UK, and I’ve always been drawn to creative subjects that allow me to think visually and conceptually. I would describe myself as naturally curious — I enjoy asking questions about how things work, why spaces feel the way they do, and how design can influence everyday life.

Being creative is something that feels instinctive to me, whether through sketching, problem-solving, or exploring new ideas. I’m particularly interested in how architecture can respond to people’s needs in subtle but meaningful ways. As I begin my journey in architecture, I’m excited to continue developing my skills while exploring how thoughtful design can shape both experience and community.
