about |

I am an AIA Registered Architect and Associate II at Modellus Novus, NYC, and Visiting Assistant Professor at the Pratt Institute GALAUD.

I graduated with Distinction from the Pratt Institute GAUD MArch program in summer '21, and was awarded the AIA Henry Adams Medal for best graduating student.

My enquiries, interspersed through my design work and my theoretical writing, follow on two themes:

Design as discovery | to me the best design reveals qualities already present. In this light, design can be seen as the practice of discerning, uncovering and accentuating qualities already present in the world around us.

Architecture as an instrument | my work explores productive relation and interactions between architecture and its surroundings. For me, architecture is the production of form through the interaction of existing qualities of nature. Just as architecture itself continually produces form through its interactions with us humans and with its surroundings.
