About 

An Architectural Designer with a passion for all things design, I strive to combine my love of nature and the built environment in order to create functional, beautiful, and healthy spaces. My goal is to make each space unique as it can be seen through its various forms and their uses, whether on-site or off. This is why I am passionate about using technology in architecture, especially virtual reality to create meaningful and engaging experiences. During my free time, I love to explore new places and find that this has led me to learn more about the way people interact with buildings and other objects.
