About 

I am a passionate architectural designer who translates concepts into beautiful designs. My work includes educational, commercial, residential, and civic projects. My most recent project repurposed a New York City landmarked building for contemporary use. I enjoy a collaborative studio environment working together to solve challenges.

I am resilient with diverse cultural experience. I’ve successfully worked in many countries using different software tools, building codes, employee roles, and languages. I am a United Nations immigrant with a green card and fully authorized to work in the U.S.
