About 

I am a recent Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning graduate who is a hard working architecture intern with proven leadership and organizational skills. I strive to straddle the line between creative processes and technical application in the pursuit of a rhetoric that is unique and reflects the passion that I have for design. I believe that good design derives out of observing the patterns that we encounter in our everyday surroundings - in addition to the ways in which interact with each other - to craft spatial interventions that both mirror and elevate the human experience. I am personally motivated by in this ideology in the continuation of my growth as an architecture designer and am eager to expand my abilities at the professional level.
