I am currently an intern architect at Stock & Associates, Inc., working on biotech, industrial and commercial projects. Prior to moving to Seattle, I worked as an exhibition designer for Studio-X, GSAPP's global network initiative, and as co-manager for the Arthur Ross Architectural Gallery. I volunteer with the Seattle Architecture Foundation as a member of the annual model exhibit committee. I'm interested in micro-urban spaces, architecture as worlds-within-worlds, dynamic facade systems, and structural movement and representation.

Kinne Traveling Fellowship to Tokyo, Japan
Final project: Designed a hypothetical entry into MoMA's 1997 design competition for a new building, with partner Kasey Josephs; studied how micro-urban spaces could inform an architecture of worlds-within-worlds, re-examining the museum's organization to create a set of cohesive, yet distinct experiences.
Additional studio projects include a custom curtain wall for a public library, a facade prototype for a sun-shading system, a botanical garden, a drawing museum, and a center for climatology, all in Manhattan; an industrial loft building in the Bronx; a master plan for urban housing in Queens; and a video game set on a horse racing track in Istanbul, Turkey.
Areas of focus include dynamic facade systems, viral architecture, structural movement and representation, food production and politics, layered histories, and projected and functional materiality.
