About 

I graduated in 2019 with a concentration on sustainable architecture and design from NYU Gallatin School of Individualized Study. Architecture and design are fundamental to our everyday lives, and through my studies, I discovered the importance of good design as a practice. Our current design processes and methods of construction render the practice unfeasible in the long term. We are designing for planned obsolescence, which is trashing our planet and creating a global crisis. The imminent truth of global warming, pollution, and depletion of natural resources, proposes nothing but a challenge for the future generations of architects and designers such as myself that need to explore the mistakes of the past to envision a brighter and more sustainable future. Since graduating I've been working with a startup called Welcome Homes, which is revolutionizing the way we buy homes online.
