Turning complexity into clarity

I’m a sustainability professional specializing in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs), and product-level environmental impact analysis.

Currently working as an LCA Analyst at Sustain and Save, delivering end-to-end LCA studies across building, material, and product systems.

With an MSc in Sustainable Management and Production from Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania, I combine rigorous academic grounding with real-world delivery — from furniture to steel, from tile adhesives to large-scale buildings.

My active project portfolio spans BD+C and ID+C building assessments, multi-product EPDs, and international clients across India, Italy, and Europe.
