Recognizing that architecture has the ability to transcend beyond the realities of working drawings and production; the tools and experiences I have acquired from design software, graphic design and art over the years has led me to envision architecture as the continuous experimentation of space; from inception of curiosity through research and applied experimentation, I am more aware of design opportunities that present themselves regardless of project scale and scope.
