About 

I am a recent graduate of Syracuse University with a BArch. My interests are multifaceted finding themselves in more materially and object-based conceptual architecture and art installation design. Driven by principles of the subjective emotional value found in the meeting points between design and individual identity and experience, I'm looking for opportunities that will engage meaning in design.
