Architecture is the design of space, and anticipation of experiences within those spaces. I explore the relationships between inhabitants and their surrounding natural environments. My goal is to encourage sustainable thinking, while showcasing the beauty of nature. Using space as my medium, I believe design can be a format for change. As an artist, and a maker, I believe form follow function, and that all art, including architecture, is best practiced with an interdisciplinary approach.
