I consider myself to be a passionate and highly motivated individual. Throughout my academic and professional career, I have discovered that design is an interdisciplinary, collective effort to respond to social, cultural and environmental issues. Aside my specialization I am also a designer and creative seeker, this has formed from my background and admiration for visual arts.
I got into the field of architecture because of my grandfather, a truly admirable and hard working individual. To me he achieved what seemed to be the impossible. Along with my passion, he will continue to be the driving force behind my dedication to my profession. Through design I hope to make a difference in people's life, as he has changed mine forever.

PROJECTS
My online portfolio contains conceptual architecture studio projects that were completed using programs such as Revit, Rhino, Grasshopper or AutoCAD. Architecture studios were derived on the investigation of the potentials of spatial and formal exploration in the built world. As a student I began studios by incorporating research, observation, analysis, and the testing of ideas through drawings and models. As studios progressed I moved on to more complex architectural programs with a specific focus. I was able to complete these projects by incorporating previous studies and innovation through the help of a collaborative environment.
