Licensed Architect in the states of California and Arizona.
My focus is on the edges of architectural discipline. Throughout my work I follow a general interest in how a projective architecture can investigate and synthesize information from a variety of fields to solve problems larger than a single building. For my research and design work I have received:
AIA New Orleans 2021 Honor Award for Small Scale Design: For design build studio project participated in as a student
RCH Studios Internal Research Grant (2019): Led research on alternate modes of procurement and funding for architecture projects
AIA Louisiana Celebrate Architecture Scholarship (2018): Individual selected by faculty for thesis research excellence
David Cameron Taylor Memorial Travel and Enrichment Program (2018): Funding travel to Arkansas for research on CLT construction and agro-forestry
John R. Ross Scholarship (2017+2018): For academic success, leadership, and service to the profession
Novel Tech Challenge Finalist (2018): For research on responsive shading through glass milling
Newcomb–Tulane College (2017): For continued research on digital fabrication
