About

I have always understood architecture through the places I have called home. Born in Salt Lake City, Utah, and raised around Denver, Colorado, and Seattle, Washington, I grew up experiencing cities with very different relationships to landscape, density, community, and the built environment. Moving between these places made me curious about why our cities take the forms they do and, more importantly, how the places we design shape the way people live, connect, and experience everyday life.

That curiosity led me to architecture. I earned a Bachelor of Architecture with a minor in Sustainability from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, where I was awarded the Presidential Merit Scholarship. I recently completed my graduate studies at the University of Southern California, earning a Master of Advanced Architectural Research Studies with a focus in City Design + Housing. Studying in New York and Los Angeles further expanded my perspective, allowing me to explore architecture across vastly different urban conditions while developing a particular interest in housing, sustainability, material reuse, and the relationship between architecture and the city.

I approach design with curiosity and a willingness to learn. My process is iterative and collaborative, grounded in honesty, accountability, and the belief that good ideas become stronger when they are questioned and shared. I value acknowledging what I do not know as much as communicating what I do, and I see architecture as a discipline that depends on learning from other people, places, and perspectives.

At the core of my work are three values: clarity, truthfulness, and communication. I want architecture to engage rather than divide and to create places that people can understand, inhabit, question, and make their own. I am especially interested in work that makes sustainability, accessibility, and community integral to design rather than treating them as additions to it.

As I begin my professional career, I am eager to keep learning, contribute to meaningful work, and take on the responsibilities that come with shaping the built environment. Ultimately, I hope to help create architecture that uses resources more responsibly, strengthens communities, and leaves a positive trace on the people and places it touches.
