About 

As an Architectural Designer, I find my explorations in architecture to be most invigorating when working on projects in diverse metropolitan contexts or complex environments. Through my professional experiences I have found supportive collaboration between colleagues and authentic connection with clients to be crucial to crafting a project with powerful design. I believe the profession can be uplifted through innovation in design, business, and open social exchange.
