About 

Hello,

I am a graduate from the Architectural Design program from the University of Washington, and growing into my sophomore year my Architectural career. I have gained wonderful experiences in commercial and residential projects in New York and New Jersey, in office and on site. And I especially appreciate building relationships and story telling in design.

Exploring and applying older, vernacular techniques in architecture interest me the most. To use these sustainable methods, it will be a fun challenge to problem solve through the modern world. 

I enjoy film photography and playing soccer on my free time!
