I am passionate about using architecture as a way to provide novel solutions to diverse problems society faces. Architecture and design are powerful tools that can effect both positive and negative societal change. My personal research centers on highly speculative community design frameworks that inform how radical indigenism can substantively change the profession and my professional practice. I am, above all, a competent learner and collaborator; and do all I can to strive to be a highly skilled conceptual designer.
