About 

As a Master of Urban Design student at UC Berkeley, I am deeply passionate about shaping the future of urban environments through innovative and sustainable design solutions. My journey in urban design is driven by a commitment to creating livable, inclusive, and resilient cities that cater to diverse populations.

Exploring cities, engaging with communities, and integrating landscape design are at the heart of my approach to urban design. I believe that understanding the unique character and needs of each urban space is essential to developing effective and meaningful design solutions. My experiences have allowed me to gain insights into various urban challenges and opportunities, enhancing my ability to create designs that resonate with the people they serve.

I am particularly interested in creating more inclusive public spaces that benefit everyone who uses them. I care deeply about the everyday lives of different groups and am committed to being actively engaged in communities to design vibrant public spaces that meet the diverse needs of people.

I thrive in collaborative environments where I can contribute my creativity, technical expertise, and strategic thinking to multidisciplinary teams. My goal is to leverage my education and experiences to drive impactful urban design projects that improve quality of life, integrate landscape elements, and promote sustainable urban growth.
