ABOUT

I am a generalist focused on my craft. My formula is doing the work, it's that simple (and hard).

An Architect and Designer by profession, I am presently working autonomously and am interested in potential collaborations following my time as Senior Principal Architect at RMA Architects.

I am dedicated to creating contextually appropriate and sustainable solutions while being conscious of the ever-changing environment it is being built in. My approach towards architecture is people as well as design-led. All that to say that I know how to translate designs from paper to reality and understand the constraints , challenges of the design, construction and user ecosystem.

This is the stuff I make for a living:

Extended About:

Hi, again! In this section I am allowing myself to chatter, I don't have any big ideas for this.

I believe in learning the long (mostly hard) way. Like finding the energy to have a website (or whatever this is). I am not 100% sure it is a wise use of my time but it feels essential to carve out a little space for myself on the web.

Most of the time, I prefer listening to talking and meeting a close friend to a party full of strangers. I like to think before I speak. I enjoy solitude and observing the interactions and reactions of people. As I age, I get reminded that the stuff that viscerally gets acknowledged rarely comes from passive consumption but rather from deeply engaged acts.

I crave contemplation but don't get to do it often. My school of thought is reliant on schooling my thoughts - thoroughly, regularly. Discipline and self-examination keep me sane (and lots of doodling, walks and cooking). My imagination has kept me grounded and content throughout the years. I dream big and have audacious goals, and I see no contradiction between this and my quiet nature.

Being an architect, designer has been technical enough to make me believe that things get better with attention to detail and teamwork. But also abstract to keep me humble and hungry. Words can be imperfect but spaces are not – reactions to it are not.

I am now reclaiming my fragmented attention.

Feel free to reach out for a cup of coffee!
