About 

I am a recent graduate of the University of Miami School of Architecture with minors in Graphic Design and Entrepreneurship.

My passion for design started at a young age when I discovered architecture books in my parent's library. I loved visiting new cities and experiencing the spaces I had seen in books in real life. Throughout high school, I became interested in art and photography which deepened my passion for design.

Throughout my time at the University of Miami, my studies have cultivated a strong foundation in architectural principles. I am particularly drawn to tropical and vernacular architecture, influenced by the vibrant environment of Miami. My interest in adaptive reuse stems from a desire to preserve history while meeting contemporary needs. Proficient in material design and graphic representation, I am dedicated to creating visually compelling and environmentally conscious designs.
