I'm a recently graduated architectural designer with a passion for circular economy, building for deconstruction, and sustainability driven material innovation. I believe in the idealistic, and finding ways to root it in reality. I adore the strange and unusual, and find joy in a fantastical and sublime architecture.
I approach the field with the determination that there are no impossible problems or substandard compromises - only creative solutions and the resilience needed to execute them.
The humanity in people, and the humanity in architecture are what drives me.
