About 

I am a registered architect in the state of New York with several years of professional experience working on projects ranging from retail commercial to ground up residential constructions. My goal as an architect is to deliver quality design with a cohesive concept that is legible through all phases right to the livable final space. Keeping this design legibility in practice while still accounting for the real world conditions of site, program, building codes, local restrictions, and budgets is what leads to a successful final result in architecture.
