I’ve had a passion for architecture since I was young. With three years of professional experience, I am seeking a starting position or another internship with the aspiration of working as an architectural designer. I graduated from Arizona State University with a bachelor’s of Science in Design in Architectural Studies (BSD.Arch) and from Waseda University in Tokyo, Japan with a master's degree in architecture (M.Arch). From my background, I have developed an interest in organic architecture and how organic things can activate metabolism.
With a flexible lifestyle, I adapt to challenges and obstacles in my path. I thrive in fast pace environments and enjoy helping out and learning all that I can. I strive to improve quality of life and to better others’ lives through design.
