My interest and curiosity in architecture are driven by questioning our profession’s responsibility to create space for other occupants through our design with respect to human occupation and cultural context, and through constant research, design, and iteration of the final form of an idea as architecture truly blooms. I believe in the focus on a wide range of project types and the use of hand drawing and sketching during the early stages of the design to inform the setting of the architecture and expand my knowledge and skill through digital means of representation.
