About
I am an architect and designer working across buildings, installations, exhibitions, objects, and writing. At the Rhode Island School of Design, where I earned a Bachelor of Architecture with a concentration in Nature, Culture, and Sustainability Studies, I learned to let a material determine the design rather than impose a result on it. Material exploration remains the hinge of my practice, the point where intention is tested against behavior.
In Stephanie Lloyd’s studio, Yukitsuri split, stretched, and delaminated a red New England barn within a greenhouse envelope, recasting an empty Providence warehouse as a sequence of microclimates for the families of hospitalized children; the project was exhibited at the Lisbon Architecture Triennale. At the Museum of Outdoor Arts, I carried Inversion from proposal to opening in four months: an installation of beads pressed from construction-waste soil and set inside an antique kiosk, turning the residue of building into evidence of our extractive relationship with the land. My thesis, Building Less: As-Needed Architecture, argues that building is a social practice, activated by use and reuse rather than completed at handover. Its proposal became a heightened testing ground for that argument: a single infrastructural wall for New Haven’s sliver sites, remnants deemed too small to develop, consolidating water, power, storage, and seating, so that one eight-foot segment already sustains gathering and everything after it is added, adjusted, and dismantled by the people who use it.

I have spent as long keeping places running as designing them: five years at the front desk of RISD’s Office of Residence Life, four as a Resident Assistant, and four as a teaching assistant across ten foundation courses. That work showed me early what the thesis would later test: a place is made as much by the people who run, use, and maintain it as by whoever drew it, a continuous act by many rather than a hidden act by few. Construction is only the first act.

I am based in New York, where I am developing As Needed, an independent practice that carries the thesis onto new sites and, eventually, into public use. Outside the studio, I paint, swim, and play the violin.
