Who am I? I am a motivated and creative 2020 Virginia Tech graduate with a passion for holistic and environmentally conscious design.
Like most designers, I love to create. The act of making enables me to work hands-on and discover an infinite number of potential solutions to any idea, question, or challenge that I encounter.
More than anything, I want to help people through design. I believe what sets the discipline of architecture apart from other fields of design is the idea of service - the obligation of the architect to create spaces that are not only beautiful and enjoyable to inhabit, but also highly effective and functional.
