Parsons School of Design, New York, NY, US, Masters, MFA Interior Design
Explored the relationship of the body in space challenging prior notions of what constitutes the interior in the field of architecture. My research and thesis was focused on exploring the domestic space of birds and the intersection of public space of humans. I worked extensively in forward thinking materials as well as computational design to propose various design possibilities for nurturing systems of care amongst species in the urban environment.
