Completing my thesis in collaboration with The Mossy Foot Project was a huge personal accomplishment for me. In my book I address the geochemical disease known as Podoconiosis. Fueled by the sole intention of soul healing through a multi-faceted phasing plan I pushed to pioneer distinct structures, outlining a tangible catalyst for the curing of this tragically preventable disease. The philosophy is a simple plan implemented through education, rehabilitation, and the art of placemaking.
I am experienced in custom residential building design, light commercial & multi-family construction document drafting. Furthermore, I am specifically interested in Urban & Campus Planning, Science & Technology, K-12 Educational Facilities & Sustainable Design. As well as having a passionate interest in humanitarian, ecologically sensitive design while specializing in research & experimentation.
