About 

I am an architect in training and a recent graduate of the University of San Diego where I completed a Bachelor in Arts in Architecture. Alongside Architectural design I am interested in architectural history, research and anthropology. I believe Architecture is multi-faceted and a lot of things can influence what spaces we create. Who we are as people, where we come from and how we see the world and that is why I enjoy using design as an opportunity to explore the world further. I am currently seeking to start my career in the Architecture industry, but also working on a continuing my research as well.
