I am a passionate designer currently living in New York City. I was born and raised in Kingston, Jamaica,and experienced briefly the design world in London England prior to moving to New York in 2006 to study architecture. There I graduated with a 5 year Bachelor of Architecture from Pratt Institute in may of 2011, with a single relocation for one semester to Italy.
Interning at various firms over the duration of my schooling I’ve contributed to all project phases from pre-design through construction. This involvement has developed my comprehensive design and management abilities. my various travels and cultural experiences, i believe, have broadened my views on design and assist me in the creative process.
I am interested in all aspects of architecture, from initial design conception ,construction document development to construction management; and am interested in all types of architecture, with a special interest in residential and resort design, interior architecture and lighting design.
