About 

In order to engage the growing concerns of the architectural practice, designers need to assess and understand the process of design. Intent on combining practical experience with theoretical inquiry, I strive to articulate questions, and constantly reevaluate the context of a design problem through research and experimentation.

Currently I am working towards developing a method of voicing architecture through design(ed) inquiry.  Utilizing my both my technical knowledge, and various avenues of theoretical research to focus on the effects of technology/media on the visualization/formation of space.
