Innately drawn to creative expression, I’ve spent my life exploring various artistic fields in order to find my niche. Those formative years--experimenting with design and structure—led to a deep interest in architectural studies and a 5 year accredited NAAB bachelor's degree from NYIT. During that time, I both collaborated and worked with students, professors and professionals on various projects, developing an useful set of skills. My competencies range from design, rendering and drafting to free form photography, drawing/sketching and construction and fabrication. I believe it is important to understand every aspect of architecture.
