I earned my Master of Architecture (M.Arch.) from the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan, where I received first place in the Leonard B. Willeke Portfolio Competition during my final year.
Through academic studios, international design competitions, and independent research, my work has explored adaptive reuse, sustainable design, community-centered spaces, and environments that support culture and the arts. I am particularly interested in how architecture can respond to existing social, cultural, and environmental conditions while creating new possibilities for collective experience.
Beyond architecture, I collect art and closely follow the art market, with a particular interest in the cultural, social, and economic values that artworks carry. This perspective informs my approach to design, encouraging me to consider not only how a space functions physically, but also the cultural context, meaning, and experiences it creates.
