About 

I am a graduate of the B.S. Architectural Studies program at University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.


I specialize in digital parametric design, fabrication, and design research. 

My current research focus investigates the tools, instruments, and methodologies of design. I am exploring how the authorship of new tools and modes of representation can lead to innovation in the discipline. In turn, how may these tools re-examine the subjective framework by which we interpret the phenomenological in Architecture?
