About 

I'm an architectural designer and educator. I'm currently a Visiting Professor at the New York Institute of Technology, School of Architecture and Design seeking for new opportunities in the field as an architectural designer. I'm a curious individual, constantly exploring creative design processes and methodologies to implement in my work. My pedagogical research explores cross pollinated fields using geographical, visual, and physical manifestations to study materialities, behavioral expressions, and innovative organizations with the potential to address programmatic, environmental, social, and cultural issues in architecture.
