About 

I am currently seeking new opportunities in architecture and design!

I am an architectural designer whose work is rooted in research, experimentation, and hands-on processes. I am passionate about creating designs that connect and engage with a diverse audience, as I believe that good design should be inclusive and accessible to all. I thrive in collaborative, pedagogical environments where I can grow alongside mentors and a team.
