My curiosity in design, cities, and the built environment led me to pursue a career in architecture and attend New School of Architecture + Design in San Diego, California. My interests in architectural design have always questioned unknown and immeasurable space and data that emerges from it. My interests continuously expand as I experiment with new technologies, methodologies and materials.
