Island Research Commons architectural elevation

Architectural designer based in New York exploring the relationship between people, landscape, material, and the spaces of everyday life.

My work spans residential, cultural, and urban design, with a particular interest in communal space, environmental context, material expression, and regenerative approaches to architecture.

Through research, drawing, physical modeling, and visualization, I develop projects from early concepts through architectural resolution.

PHYSICAL MODEL

Physical model making is a big part of my design process, allowing ideas to be tested through scale, materiality, and spatial relationships in ways that drawings alone cannot achieve. Each model serves as an

iterative tool for evaluating massing, circulation, structure, and light while revealing the experiential qualities of a project throughout its development
