After a high school residency at Fallingwater, I knew I was drawn to architecture. From the very beginning, I have approached design as a systems thinker—understanding built form not as isolated objects, but as integral to broader social, ecological, and cultural networks. My professional experience spans all stages of practice, from conceptual design and development to construction documentation and administration, across projects ranging from large-scale urban planning and mixed-use competitions to intimate residential and speculative works.

Most recently, I had the honor of working at Renzo Piano Building Workshop in Genova, Italy, where I deepened my engagement with fluid materials—light, water, and vegetation—exploring how architecture can shape spaces that nurture human experience, social connection, and communal life. I also returned to the essence of architectural practice through hand drawing and physical model-making, reconnecting with the tactile and experiential foundations of design. These experiences have strengthened my ability to navigate complex processes with precision, while holding space for multiple perspectives and scales, shaping architecture as a living, responsive system.
