About 

I'm an architectural designer in New York with multidisciplinary experience from both creative and technical backgrounds.  Professional work in the city includes assistant project management – from schematic design through construction administration – for residential new construction (international & local), commercial/corporate interiors, speculative design proposals for institutions, and firm marketing.  At Pratt Institute's GAUD, I served teaching assistantships for studios & environmental control systems courses and consistently contributed to archived courseworks.
