I am a designer from the island of Kauai, Hawaii currently working in San Francisco Bay Area. A recent graduate of the Master of Architecture program at the University of California, Berkeley, I have focused my academic and professional interests in Architecture, Art, and Environments. When the pencils are down, I prefer to travel and spend my time outdoors. It is a way to improve my work and well-being, and often provides new perspectives.

Candidate in the Doctorates of Architecture program.
While enrolled in the Doctorate of Architecture program at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, we were recommended to obtain a Bachelor of Environmental Design as they were about to switch the 7 year D.Arch to a 4+3 B.EnvD / D.Arch.
The Bachelor or Environmental Design degree gave me the opportunity to move to San Francisco and explore new opportunities both in work and study.
