Architecturally trained with a graduate degree in architecture and a lifelong commitment to painting and the fine arts. My work bridges design and visual art, integrating parametric precision with the expressive qualities of handcraft. Experienced in developing projects that balance conceptual rigor with material sensitivity, I bring both technical skill and an ingrained artistic perspective to creative practice.
