Beginning in 2009, I’ve had more than twelve cumulative years of professional experience in the fields of planning, design, architecture, interiors, and construction. I’ve participated in all phases of the architectural design process — from pre-concept through construction administration and closeout — on projects ranging from 400 square feet to 1,400 acres, in Hong Kong, China, London, Rome, Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, and Panama, as well as across states including California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Massachusetts, Virginia and more.
My particular areas of interest include: housing and hospitality design, food-related architecture, master planning, environmental issues, and human rights, happiness, and wellbeing.
