About 

Hello!

I was born and raised in San Antonio, Texas and currently reside in Brooklyn, NY.  I love to solve problems, create space, and develop graphics. 

I am a licensed architect, designer, and researcher with expertise in sustainable building design with over 10 years of experience. I'm also a graduate of the Center for Architecture Science and Ecology (CASE), a collaboration between Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Skidmore Owings & Merrill where I received a Master of Science in Architectural Sciences in Built Ecologies in December 2012.  I also hold a B.Arch from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, completed May 2011.

While it appears I have an inclination towards wordy academic programs, I can concisely state my interest in architectural, graphic, and research-based design. My education and career goals are focused in innovative design, with an emphasis on creating interdisciplinary, sustainable environments.
