About 

I recently graduated from Tulane School of Architecture with a 5 year undergraduate MArch degree. I studied in Copenhagen during my fourth year of school where I interned at Zeso Architects for 6 months. Over the summers I gained experience in set design, working on films produced by Lionsgate Co.
