About Me

Travel Timeline

Culture

Travel

I have had the privilege to travel throughout my life, living in 10 different countries to date. Travel has taught me about myself, societies, cultures, and how architecture is influenced by all these factors.

Ethics

Sustainability

I believe it is important to provide solutions that are rooted within the local context and develop projects that tie into the issues of a particular site, while encompassing global sustainable values.

Movement

Dance

Movement fascinates me, and this stems from my passion for dance. Being a dancer my whole life, I am able to make connections with the audience during a performance by blurring the boundary between the two. Just as I do on stage, I thrive to create architecture that is alive, tells a story, and presents various emotions.

Architecture is really about well-being. I think that people want to feel good in a space… On the one hand it’s about shelter, but it’s also about pleasure.
- Zaha Hadid
To create, one must first question everything.
- Eileen Gray
As an architect you design for the present, with an awareness of the past, for a future which is essentially unknown.
- Norman Foster
Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.
- Frank Gehry
Less is more.
- Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
