About 

A recent college graduate, I am in the course of exploring and learning about the architectural/design world outside of academia. I am interested in all forms of design, from architectural design to graphic design and anything in between. I currently reside and work in New York City, with an open mind in learning about and/or becoming a part of interesting and innovative work
