I have always been fascinated by the interaction of nature and the built environment. This love has led me on a path of multidisciplinary educational training, having received a double degree in Environmental Science (BS) with a concentration of Ecological Design and Studio Art (BA). After my work experience in the art industry post graduation, I dove into the study of the built environment while receiving my Master of Architecture at Columbia. During my time at GSAPP, my research has focused on the nuanced relationship between humans, other living species, and the environment. My work is rooted in designing with nature to develop new models of symbiosis that are necessary in managing our changing world.
