STATEMENT Currently I am at the end of my 4th year of architecture school at Philadelphia University. As a young designer, I am fortunate to attend a design oriented college and be frequently exposed to fields other than my major such as interior, graphic and industrial design. My holistic exposure has humbled me as an architecture student to approach different mediums of design. I strive to create in a healthy balance of high quality sketching, model making and digital production. Beyond honing my skills as an individual I am equally as comfortable in collaborative work. Tutoring, team charrettes and meeting with real clients have truly been my most educational experiences in working in groups. I have enclosed samples of my work which best demonstrate my ideologies of holistic design.
