About 

It is with a firm belief in the ability of design and research to effect good in the world, that I've chosen Architecture as a tool that enables me to actively contribute to my built environment. While harnessing the power of an interdisciplinary collaborative effort, my intent is to help better the built environment through effective communication, adoption of sensible strategies, and the drive to learn by doing.
