I am a Master's of Architecture canidate at the University of Illinois at Chicago. I have earned a Bachelor's of science in Architecture from Bowling Green State University.
My polemic interest is in re-inventing architecture and urban design both through it's visual perception and the interaction that occurs within the space. There is a fascinating interplay with how architecture and people communicate with each other. This is the area I have focused my research and theoretical explorations in my acedmic career.

Bowling Green State University, Bowling Green, OH, US, BArch, Architecture
Liberal arts school education with a focus on architectural studies. I found myself torn between Visual Communication and Architecture as a career path. It was in college where I was able to combine these two disciplines. I was able to merge my interest of photography, art, communication, and graphic design into my architectural studies. It was through this synthesis of these disciplines that I was able to stand apart from my collegues and develope a unique technique for design.
