About 

I have worked to create spaces people want to spend time in and discover. 

I began my career at Snarkitecture, exploring all scales of space and objects. I continued to practice design with attention to light and shadow, and materiality, as I developed my skills in a more technical environment at NYDA. Combining these skills offered me the opportunity to an Architectural Designer position at Theory, designing stores worldwide, where I continue to grow my knowledge of people’s interaction with the built environment.

My education began with playful representation of thoughtful research, developing rhetorical projects. I studied Architecture at the University of Miami SOA where I developed an understanding for site specific design through sustainable practices. My education continued to earning a Masters in Urban Design from Columbia University GSAPP. 

I combine my collaborative experience and education to my practice - intersecting architecture and interaction with daily life, leading to good times in memorable spaces.
