Through innovative techniques and purposeful design my work guides projects from initial conception through execution. Collaboration has been critical to my development as a professional, and working through technical design issues and creative residential design projects, I have continued to hone my skills as an architect.

The Cooper Union, New York, NY, US, BArch, Irwin S. Chanin School of Architecture
The first two years at Cooper, design was done primarily though hand drafting and model making in the workshop. As I move throughout the design studios the projects became more complex, 'real' (integrating various building systems, programs and siting conditions). Design methodology became more sophisticated and worked out though digital modeling.
While enrolled I focused my studies on Structures Sustainability and Environmentalism, Building technology, Environmental Technology, Construction Management, Professional Practice and various Architectural Theory.
