ABOUT
I am a New York-based Architectural Designer with a deep interest in how design, in all its forms, engages with history, context, the natural world and surrounding systems.
I have been a part of travel studios in Venice and London. I have sat on juries at Pratt Graduate School of Architecture, New York Institute of Technology and Lehigh University.
My design portfolio includes international and domestic pursuits in the educational and cultural sector, as well as interior renovations to existing residential and commercial spaces. My experience in working with smaller interior design studios and for larger architecture firms has given me the skills to understand space at the material and textural level, as well as at the building-scale level.
