PROFILE
I’m an architect who likes solving puzzles. Passionate about finding design solutions; from brand identity to development branding, working with tiny homes to masterplanning communities, bespoke interiors to architecture, I believe that effective design should be founded on both a strong idea and a relevant narrative. With over a decade of experience working both freelance and in a studio environment and have been an architect, designer, stylist, event planner, decorator, graphic artist, art director, executive assistant, and a brand consultant through this, I enjoy working with people that have the same trans-disciplinary passion that I have, particularly research, concept ideation, branding, and design.
