Hello! I’m a Brooklyn-based, WELL accredited designer actively pursuing licensure in New York State. Since receiving my Master of Architecture from Tulane University, I’ve split my time between New York and New Orleans working for award-winning firms in both cities. My current interests place a great emphasis on the exploration of local vernaculars, sustainable materials, and circular economies across the globe.
