As a graduate with a Bachelor of Architecture degree, I have cultivated a deep passion for creating thoughtful, impactful designs that connect with people and communities. Architecture, to me, is a powerful medium for expressing emotions and fostering meaningful connections. It’s not just about shaping spaces but about crafting experiences that resonate with users and endure over time.
Growing up in Queens, New York, I’ve been inspired by the vibrant and diverse urban fabric around me. This environment has shaped my approach to design, balancing creative exploration with practical problem-solving. My work reflects a commitment to innovation, precision, and functionality, ensuring that each project meets both aesthetic and user needs.
Throughout my academic and professional journey, I have embraced opportunities to collaborate and grow. From contributing to award-winning projects like the Malcolm Shabazz Harlem Plaza to refining construction documentation and design development skills, I thrive in settings where collaboration and technical expertise are valued. My ultimate goal is to leave a lasting, positive impact on the built environment while continuously pushing the boundaries of design.
