Architectural Designer | Systems Thinker | Environmental Artist
Design Strategist and Architectural Designer specializing in the synthesis of regulatory frameworks, sustainable methodologies, and collaborative creation. With a unique background that integrates NYC Department of Buildings expediting, advanced digital fabrication (CNC, robotics), and natural building techniques (cob, straw bale, bamboo), I develop efficient, code-compliant, and ecologically conscious design solutions. My practice is dedicated to bridging the gap between urban policy, material innovation, and community-centered outcomes, leveraging expertise in technical software, participatory design, and hands-on construction to reimagine the future of the built environment.
