About

Merging historical understanding with contemporary vision.

I believe architecture should harmonize function with beauty, creating spaces that enhance human experience. My education at the University of Hartford, combined with immersive study in Florence, Italy, shaped a design approach that merges historical architectural understanding with contemporary vision and technical precision.

My work spans residential, mixed-use, and interior design — spaces that are livable, contextually appropriate, and aesthetically compelling. Each project reflects my belief that good design should not only solve practical problems but also evoke emotion and connection.

I am now in my second and final year of the M.Arch program at Portland State University, focused on public-interest and human-centered design, with practicum experience in interior renovation, biophilic and wellness-focused research, construction documentation, and code compliance.
