I am interested in thoughtful designs of space for gathering and the ability for
architecture to bring people together. Building on research, lived experiences,
and experimentation, I aspire to create sublime experiences at a variety of
scales. Having spent time in Illinois, Tokyo, Philadelphia, Los Angeles,
and New York, I am fascinated with the variety of urban scales and the different
experiences each have to offer.
