About 

My education from Newschool of Architecture and Design has emboldened me with a strong sensibility towards sustainable and environmentally sound design that supports our decaying exteriors. I relish the opportunity to be apart of projects that encourage recycled materials, passive systems, and a focus towards well lit and well ventilated interiors. I finished my Bachelor of Architecture in Newschool of Architecture and Design with a thesis developed around Salutogenic Design and would love to share its strategies with a progressive and ever evolving company.
