About 

I am interested in the social production and use of space, mainly as a driving force that influences design and life. My dissertation is on the topic of cities as a social community, the city as a living citizen. Utilizing research found in all sectors of life, from governance to economics, I plan to grasp a much deeper understanding of the social needs of a community and how to plan and design accordingly. This will help my future career as I will be able to truly design for the social context.

My architectural interests lie in sustainability, more so, the triple bottom line of sustainability. While my formal education and interests are in conceptual and environmental design, my passions lie in social sustainability and how architecture can influence society. I have been labeled an idealist, polemist, and an utopian dreamer, but I have an opinion that architecture can have the most positive influence on society by shaping the built environment to better fit everyone fairly.
