Interests

01

Architecture & Design

Architecture feels like a puzzle to me—I see both the individual pieces and the whole picture at once. I explore multiple ways to organize spaces and create thoughtful solutions that meet my clients' needs. Whether designing temporary or permanent spaces, my goal is always to provide adaptability.

02

Healthy Materials

Many materials not only have a large carbon footprint but are also harmful to human health. I am committed to building spaces that are sustainable, ethically sourced, and healthy. To expand my research, I recently completed training in Healthy Materials and Sustainable Building at Parsons School of Design.

03

Making & Crafts

I learn through making, especially when working with my hands. As I build, I explore the structure, tectonics, and potential of the materials I work with. Over the past year, I have delved into pre-fabricated straw panels, hempcrete, traditional Japanese woodworking and wheel throwing.
