About 

I'm a designer based in New York City. I've recently graduated with Distinction with my Master of Architecture from Pratt Institute. I’m currently a designer at su11 Architect + Design. Previously I designed and researched experimental architecture, urban design, and materials at Terreform ONE. I'm also a Visiting Assistant Professor at Pratt Institute Graduate School of Architecture co-teaching design studios.

I've been awarded the Sidney Katz Award for Design Excellence from Pratt GAUD. I've also been selected as a member of the Metropolis Future100 Class of 2022. I am a part of the inaugural PRAX_IS Innovation Incubator, doing material research in mycelium. My architecture portfolio was awarded Pratt Show's First Place by Pratt School of Architecture. I was also Pratt's 2022 Graduate nominee for the RIBA President's Silver Medal. I was also asked to be a part of the Global Design Graduate Show by Arts Thread in collaboration with Gucci.

I have five-plus years in the architectural industry as a designer, primarily in the predesign through design development phases. However, I have experience in all phases of project development. My skills include graphic representation, animations, material research, project documentation, competition experience, concept creation, and master planning.

I have found leadership through mentorship to be essential to my development as an architect. I’ve held multiple leadership roles in organizations and numerous mentoring roles at various levels. I've also led various stewardship efforts within my previous workplace.

I've been a part of leading design teams at The Collaborative Architecture Lab (CAL) led by Gabriel Calatrava and the higher education team at Kahler Slater. At CAL, I worked on a small design team on innovative designs for ambitious clientele. One project to note is the East Lake City Ecological Urban Park. During my time at Kahler Slater, some noteworthy projects are the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra Center, Brookfield Conference Center Sculpture, University of Tennessee School of Dentistry, and various universities, athletics, and medical masterplans.
