My interest and passion lie in the relationship between architecture and urbanism. Through
my experience I have explored this duality in both the fields of academics and practice. Therein
I have attained a substantial understanding of scale, concept and design in both Architecture
and Urban Design at a conceptual and technical resolution. I have a strong graphic ability in
presentations and communication in both hand drawing and digital drawings. My dedicated
work ethic allows me to function effectively as part of a team or as an individual.
