My name is Nicolas and I have recently completed my masters degrees in Architecture and Sustainability at Arizona State University. I was born and raised in the Detroit Metropolitan Area of Michigan. I moved out to the desert of Arizona when I started university at eighteen years old. Design has always been an integral part of my life. Growing up traveling and exploring the works of world-renowned architects from the USA and globally. I have been lucky enough to have had the opportunity to work with incredibly talented architects in Phoenix, Detroit, Dublin, and Cape Town.
I hope to join a group of true innovators and shape the way humans experience spaces. My experience lies in both residential, restaurant and commercial design.
