How did you first learn about architecture and when did you decide that built environment profession was an area of interest for you?
From as early as I can remember, I was fascinated by the built environment and drawing. I enrolled in a drafting course in high school and then gained knowledge that architecture was an actual means of drawing and getting paid. I didn’t turn back.
What do you do?
I listen, collaborate and work with the intent of creating places that strive to make the world better. I still draw a lot.
What excites you in the work you do?
Changing perspectives, creating something from nothing and representing communities.
Who or what inspires you professionally?
Legacy, family and community
What is your proudest professional accomplishment or achievement?
It’s not singular for me, every day that I am able to use architecture as a conduit to the world and using it to connect with people is a great achievement
