Based in Brooklyn and raised in Miami, I’m aware of the social implications that architecture creates for all different types of cultures. Along with my background in architecture, my other interests include industrial design, lighting design and business and marketing. I’m passionate about crafting details, transforming a material to make it beautiful and functional.
