I am extremely passionate about the political, social, and cultural implications and potential of architecture and the built environment, and I view human use and interaction as two of the critical elements that define architecture. These factors have driven my explorations and design throughout my academic graduate work at UC Berkeley and my undergraduate work at Kent State University, as well as in my professional experience. My experiences have also furthered my interest in exploring the convergence of those implications and elements as well as the convergence of the technical and creative aspects of design. I seek to grow and leverage my understanding of all of those elements and to continue developing as a designer while pursuing a positive, enduring impact on and through architecture and the built environment.
