Summary

I am a graduate student at the University of California - Berkeley pursuing a Master of Architecture degree. Graduated from the University of Michigan - Ann Arbor with a Bachelor of Science in Architecture in April 2023.

My professional goal is to link my interests in game development and music with architecture to shape future land uses and spaces in a rapidly changing world. I am particularly interested in exploring the human connection to natural environments and where the threshold begins and ends in relation to context and sustainability.
