Hello

I am an architectural designer with over 9 years of experience realizing projects from their inception. I have a diverse background in art and design, ranging from gallery installation to project management. This diversity has given me a unique understanding of how to communicate with a multidisciplinary team and to view architectural solutions from many different perspectives.

What I enjoy most about being a designer is the ability to be both a dreamer and creator: conceptualizing a solution and then using my technical abilities to turn that idea into something real and tangible.

Currently

I am an Associate, Design Professional at Lawrence Group’s New York office. I currently focus my expertise on a variety of boutique retail and wellness clients looking to expand their brands through regional and national roll-outs.

What unites these diverse clients is their shared aspiration for their brand’s in-person experience to be refined, distinctive, and memorable. I am leaned on to develop the conceptual backbone and spatial narratives for these experiences, which I do by getting to know the clients aspirations, pain points, and position in the wider marketplace.

Recently

I participated as a speaker on a panel entitled “Mahal or Mahal: Is Pursuing Your Passion Worth the Cost?”

Additionally

I am building a community of people who believe that architectural and design theory can be better utilized to create more inclusive, supportive, and sustainable futures/realities, here and now.
