I'm a recent architecture graduate at Carnegie Mellon University. I'm interested in material science, soft architecture, and sustainable design. My creativity streams from my hands, and my education has taught me to combine this ability with diagrammatic methodologies, digital fabrication, modelling with an attention to detail, and crafting purposeful presentations. I've used my equipment resources to create unique models and projects with quirky characteristics that attempt to solve contemporary architectural and environmental problems.
I value hands-on experience and am looking to create in as many ways as possible, and gain well-rounded experience using different tools, materials, techniques, and software.
