I'm an interior architect specializing in the design and project management of adaptive reuse projects in New York City. For the past 10 years I have focused primarily in the high-end residential sphere, but have also worked on commercial and civic projects.
My masters thesis, Personal Trauma, Community Healing, reckons with America's gun violence problem through the discipline of architecture. The design proposal mends a frayed urban fabric by revitalizing an abandoned church building as a new type of sanctuary for survivors of violent crime.
