I am a multi-hyphenate designer living in Brooklyn, New York. A pandemic graduate of Portland State University, I studied architecture and dedicated the latter half of my education toward designing homeless solutions and studying the impact of hostile architecture on democratic public spaces.
I am deeply interested in cultivating equity within built spaces and advocating for those who have been disenfranchised within our cities through community-informed design approaches.
My design solutions have been displayed at the Anchorage Museum in Alaska, at Portland City Hall Exhibitions, and at various design competitions.
