Summary
Architectural Designer I with a passion for shaping spaces that feel both purposeful and alive. A background in psychology fuels my curiosity about the human experience, through the way people feel, connect, and find comfort within the spaces they inhabit. With experience spanning residential design at every scale, mixed-use developments, adaptive reuse, new construction, and hospitality environments including cafes, I translate human behavior into environments that are as meaningful as they are beautiful.
