About 

As an energetic urban designer and architect, I bring over 10 years of experience working on large scale urban designs involving multiple phases of development. My projects have spanned from small life-style shopping center to entire city planning.

As a client focused professional I am proud of my ability to address client needs and deliver plans that meet both client expectations and a city’s regulations. A balance can be made between the beautiful, the sustainable and the practical. 

One particular project which demonstrates my skills includes work on a 35-acre master plan for a mixed-use master plan. This combines the realization of the city’s resident lead specific plan as well as the high profile retail client’s proforma needs. It included over 10 acres of open space, locally serving amenities, as well as bringing in a state of the art entertainment/ sports center. The balance between client and city, resident and developer, residential and commercial was constantly being reviewed and adapted.

I recently have relocated to the Cambridge/ Boston area and look forward to becoming part of a firm where I can continue to design to the needs of the clients in the most sustainable and captivating way possible, manage teams and communicate with clients to help bring the vision to a reality. 

My competencies include:
Master Planning 
Architectural Design
Site Analysis 
Urban Design 
Diagram Development 
Client Communications
