I am a designer of many scales and like to constantly work to push an idea forward in the details as well as the master vision. I have experience working from the small (interior design/architecture) to medium (architecture) and large (urban design/site planning). By growing up surrounded with design, it has always been my passion.
I graduated from University of Southern California in 2011 and worked at ZGF Architects in Los Angeles for a year and a half after school advancing my knowledge of master planning, schematic design and construction documents. After ZGF, I worked at a small Interior design firm which gave me an understanding of finishing the work of the architects. After receiving my Master's degree from Columbia in Urban Design and Architecture, I plan to continue to study the cities of the world in the hope to improve them.
