I'm a registered architect and educator based in New York City. I'm intensely interested in architecture's ability to shape the contemporary city in unexpected ways, and I'm obsessed with making beautiful drawings and models. I recently published a book of drawings based on my project One House Per Day; the book has been favorably reviewed in Architect's Newspaper, Architectural Record, and designboom.
My Master's thesis project, Homestead, has been published here on Archinect:
