About 

I consider myself to be an avid designer and musician. Design influences everything we do day in and day out. My background started in construction from a young age running around as my fathers’ apprentice. This jump started my fascination and career into architecture. Throughout my journey I was able to blur the lines between these two trades into one. This led me to digital fabrication and design build which implemented both skills. I currently have a semi-permanent installation installed at Woodbury University School of Architecture campus and participated in a studio that was involved in a gallery and collaboration with Gensler Los Angeles. Currently as anarchitectural designer I have the ability to participate in creating a better built environment, and generating a more sustainable platform for humans to inhabit.

Employment 

Robert Kerr Architecture Design, Los Angeles, CA, US, Architectural Designer
