About 

I'm a graduate Master of Science candidate at Penn State, ultimately enthusiastic about design and specifically about how the formation of space affects human perception, and the way spatial narratives are experienced and implied. My research is about looking at the urban experience through a filmic lens, bringing in ideas from narrative and film theory in order to come up with new readings of the city.

I have always been interested in working across overlapping disciplines and have challenged myself to develop an extensive visual design skillset that would, through spatial and visual storytelling of spaces and graphics, excel in communicating ideas and concepts. This is visible in my multidisciplinary background of activities, which includes architecture, graphic design, fabrication, film and animation.

Employment

During my internship at HCM I had the chance to work in the Healthcare studio and work on a variety of related projects. My responsibilities included Revit modelling, Architectural graphics and design development.

Supported by the firm, I also had the chance to initiate a film project directed towards the AIA 2017 iLookup Film Challenge, which sought to highlight projects that reinvigorated neighborhoods through community design. can be found at: https://vimeo.com/230536129.
