*Required Field

Growing up, I called a few different cities home – Berkeley, Tokyo, Moscow and Santa Barbara. These early and contrasting experiences helped to shape my approach to architecture. An approach that aims to balance each project’s unique context with simple and elegant design solutions.

I like to paint. This one depicts a project I designed in grad school.

Snorkeling and diving off Komodo Island. It was the first time I dove. The vibrancy of the natural world just beneath the water blew me away.
