I am passionate about design and creativity, and the use of these to find solutions to problems being faced by society. I believe architecture has the potential to instigate, or at the very least, promote and inspire social change. I graduated from Cornell University's Bachelor of Architecture degree program. I have traveled to many places and learned through seeing, listening, drawing, and writing. I seek to use creativity, art, and design in the pursuit of a career.

Hernandez-Eli Architecture, New York, NY, US, Architectural Designer
As an employee of HE I participate in meetings with clients, contractors, and consultants in order to best serve the team while developing a project's design. I work closely with the heads of the practice to find design solutions, create construction documents, and check up on projects during the construction phase. I have worked on projects of multiple scales, from interior renovations to a full, five-story gut renovation of a Chelsea townhouse. The opportunity to work with the HE team has been one providing growth, learning, and challenges that have made me a better team member, better at time management, and a better designer.
CallisonRTKL, New York, NY, US, Associate
While at CallisonRTKL, I worked on primarily on Chanel store projects, as well as the occasional work on Dior, Piaget, and Stella Mc Cartney. I was responsible for drawing construction documents, researching code, developing schematic sketches, and working on drawings of construction details. My time at CallisonRTKL allowed me to see how a project was developed post schematic design, how the construction administration process worked, and how to take an idea and develop it so that it is build able.
