About 

I am an architectural designer with a passion for visualization and graphic design. I have made it my goal while studying architecture to also study and practice as many dissonant branches of art and design as possible, and I therefore have experience in landscape design, graphic design, video game design, virtual reality, film, fashion, robotics, sculpture, motion graphics/animation, and more. I believe no designer should confine themselves to a single branch of design, and connecting each of these disciplines back to architecture has taught me lessons and solutions that have uniquely bolstered my architectural design language.
