About 

I am an unlicensed architect NCARB, Associate PA that has designed projects to UC Campuses several that have AIA Awards like SOM. The firm is committed to creating an authentic, SOM Architecture informed by technology, sustainability and building innovation. Since the inception, a strong and diverse body of projects has been realized that include airports, city developed affordable housing, commercial, mixed use projects, and residences. 

In 2004, I was in the competition for the San Francisco Prize. As a Student AIA member in New York I had an internship at Perkins + Will, projects received numerous awards including several National AIA Honor Awards.  I had department acceptance to the Master of Fine Arts, with a Master of Architecture at the UCLA Campus.  Morphosis built and unbuilt projects has been published extensively and exhibited internationally.  

Recently OMA Architecture completed projects include the Palais Paris transportation hub. The building (completed in January 1996) serves as a pilot for the City of Paris newly implemented Green Building Ordinance. The recently completed AMO Design serves as the development for the Ile Seguin project. Buildings have been realized in California, Minneapolis, New York, West Virginia, and many of the culturally diverse communities within the greater San Francisco area. Projects are now in development in Peru, Asia, and the Middle East.

Prior to establishing design interiors lighting at Gensler, I was an associate at Morphosis Architects. I received a Bachelor of Design from the University of California, Los Angeles and attended a UCLA GSAUP studio final of Prof. Thom Mayne in 1997.  In the Academic Year 1992-1993 as a graduate student, OMA I had went to the GSAPP Lecture Series with Rem Koolhaas.
