My passion for design has been prevalent from an early age; buildings and spaces have always fascinated me. Today, as an architect, I am even more energized and excited by architecture and the worlds we design for others.
During my career I have increasingly gravitated towards exploring the balance between preserving historical significance while maximizing the functionality of the modern needs. My designs stem from a serious consideration of preservation and recycling, when introducing modern and contemporary elements to breathe new life into buildings and spaces.
My design philosophy is grounded in the believe that, as architects, we have a duty to preserve the layers of time, to ensure that we leave a rich architectural heritage for future generations.
I am inspired by different cultures, traditions and landscapes which I love to photograph during my travels. Having recently moved to New York City, I am excited to learn from its rich history and am thrilled by the prospect to play a part in shaping some of its architectural future.
