About 

I am an architecture designer and artist interested in collaborative design processes to create opportunities for communities. I believe that the "devil's in the detail," and architecture should encompass to design everything - from the exterior and its context all the way in to where the power outlet is. 

I also love food, baking, and watching movies!
