After graduating from Pratt's B.Arch program, I focused on working in the construction side of the field for a few years. While working in facade fabrication, I discovered the exhilaration of investigating and expanding upon existing building systems.
Currently, I am interested in merging the design sensibilities practiced in school with the practical knowledge acquired from working in the field. Hence, I look forward to being exposed to an abundance of new knowledge, people and experiences as I continue to grow as a designer.
