2011

A b o u t I strive to contribute and improve upon the elevation of life. I am driven by the communal process of creation and the connections built which gives birth to the end result. My intention is to collaborate with a likeminded team, bringing awareness and meaning to design in hopes of cultivating community and livable experiences.
