AboutProfile / 2026
Architecture as a shared framework through which inhabitants customize, negotiate, and transform space.
I am a systems thinker, architectural designer, and curious mind drawn to the edge of emerging technology. To me, architecture is not only a title, but a fusion: space as a framework and technology as a means to keep it open to change.
I am currently a Design Technologist at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM) in San Francisco.
