About 

I am a licensed and LEED certified architect who pairs tools of the digital age with tried and true craftsmanship in the pursuit of timeless beauty. A graduate of the BArch program at Cal Poly SLO, I have worked on projects from small retail stores to skyscrapers. During my career, I specialized in fabrication and interdisciplinary design and I look forward to seeing how I can use these skills as I relocate to Seattle, Washington. 

Elsewhere:

Employment 

Yazdani Studio of Cannon Design, Los Angeles, CA, US, Architect II

Designed projects at various scales ranging from small exhibits to skyscrapers, airport terminals, and cancer centers along with multiple higher education projects all as a member of small design teams for an international firm.

Maneuverworks, Los Angeles, CA, US, Project assistant

Our architecturally trained team engaged in design exercises for custom furniture pieces and collaborated with architectural firms on millwork in retail and residential projects. Working with my hands and drafting shop drawings gave me the practical experiences I needed to balance my formal education. From drawing interior remodels to fabricating and eventually overseeing small retail installations, I gained an eye for detail and a sense for translating drawings into reality.
