ABOUT ME

I graduated from Cornell in 2015 with a Bachelor of Architecture and a Minor in Visual Studies. My interests include exploring new technologies and approaches to design. I am interested in making architecture more dynamic and adaptable, having developed a prototype for a greenhouse envelope that responds to sunlight and temperature and done several projects involving kinetic structural systems. I am also interested in how different design disciples can influence and intertwine with architecture, in particular film.  I grew up in Boise, ID and spent my childhood exploring the state’s abundant wilderness, playing soccer, or watching films.

I am currently a designer at AC Martin in Los Angeles, CA. I have worked on a variety of projects from restaurants to university student unions and have recently been primarily designing the public areas of state office buildings in Sacramento, CA.
