A Bit About Me
I am an architectural designer driven by a fervent passion for pushing the boundaries of creativity through computational and 3D design. With a distinguished Master's degree from the Architectural Association Design Research Laboratory (AADRL) and a Bachelor's from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, my journey in architecture has been nothing short of exhilarating. Blending traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge digital tools, I thrive on creating immersive spaces that captivate the senses and inspire wonder. My work is a testament to my unwavering commitment to innovation, where each project represents a unique opportunity to challenge conventions and explore new possibilities. With a relentless pursuit of excellence, I am dedicated to shaping the future of architecture through bold experimentation and visionary design.
