I am an interior designer by trade currently pursuing a degree in Urbanism at Parsons. I recently relocated to NYC and have been involved in furniture design and social innovation efforts.
Recently, I was lucky enough to be a selected participant of the CSI Incubator Program where I have been awarded office space in the Starrett-Lehigh building to begin development on strategies towards housing. While I maintain my interest in social architecture, I am also actively pursing an interior design career and would love the opportunity to join the rigorous and creative environment NYC provides.

A Critical Approach to Urban Transformation
Bringing together the academic strengths of Parsons and other divisions of The New School, this studio-based program will train students to apply interdisciplinary methods in studying and designing processes to transform urban ecosystems. The first graduate program of its kind in the United States, this 60-credit, two-year master of science program will explore the broad terrain of the urban complex and its interconnection with society and the environment.
Students in the program will gain a broad view of the dynamics of urban life by investigating the influence of bureaucracy, policy, finance, and design on contemporary cities. With a curriculum focusing on designing process rather than form, students will develop strategic proposals for more cohesive and socially responsible urban development.
