I am obsessive about details. I excel at producing models both physical and digital, and have extensive practical knowledge of fabrication. For the past 3 years I’ve worked as a Fabrication Lab Technician in the Florida Atlantic University School of Architecture. I’ve guided students and faculty in the materialization of their respective projects, and to create provocative digital and physical representations of form, space and experience.

I’ve had experiences realizing several architectural projects at different scales. From simple renovations to private homes, to the reworking of penthouse interiors, to the revitalization of historic properties through my internships and consultant work,--all projects undertaken simultaneously with my design studios and lab-job.

I am in pursuit of the design and realization of highly expressive and evocative architecture unhindered by traditional tools and mediums.

The spire is a quickly identifiable component of the Mosque. Over 90% of the population in Bangladesh is Muslim, so it stands to reason that one of the grander gestures of this project is something of a steam-punk minaret, calling to the robust assembly-space and prayer hall in the reclaimed and deformed portion of the warship.
