About 

My academic background has equipped me with advanced architectural design skills, which enable me to creatively overcome building and environmental challenges using software such as Revit, Rhino, AutoCAD, and SketchUp.
I adopt a unique philosophy of design that extends beyond client satisfaction, emphasizing the incorporation of a passionate design team throughout the process.
My proficiency in French, which I acquired while growing up in Lome, Togo, enhances my communication skills and allows me to professionally exchange information with people both in French and English.

Hip-Hop Architecture Camp - Madison, WI, Madison, WI, US, Youth Instructor

Hip Hop PARKitecture Workshop: Urban Parks of the Future.
The Hip Hop Architecture Camp in partnership with the Hip Hop Architect Michael Ford was a month-long workshop held every weekend during which I assisted youth participants in working individually and collaboratively to generate city park-design concepts, through the lens of hip-hop culture, for the 2018-2022 City of Madison Park & Open Space Plan. The goal was to ensure that the voice of Madison’s youth was heard during this important plan update. Helped youths understand how a community can promote diversity and inclusion by designing a park, including the layout of different elements that can make a park very attractive, such as a playground, basket and tennis court, skateboarding/biking ramps, a place to sit and read, and a pavilion.
