Behind The Work

From sketching buildings as a child to managing large-scale residential and mixed-use developments in New York City and abroad, my journey in architecture has been shaped by a lifelong passion for design and the built environment. With over 12 years of professional experience across architecture, real estate development, and construction, I bring a multidisciplinary perspective that merges conceptual design with technical execution and regulatory insight.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Architectural Engineering and a Master of Architecture, giving me a strong foundation in both the creative and structural dimensions of the profession. Over the years, I have led projects from early feasibility and zoning analysis through construction documentation, agency approvals, and on-site coordination. My work spans high-rise residential towers, affordable and market-rate housing, hospitality, cultural projects, and international design competitions.

My roles have ranged from project architect to project manager, often leading consultant teams, coordinating BIM workflows, managing code compliance, and overseeing construction administration. I am particularly focused on aligning design ambition with buildability, ensuring that every project I work on is not only innovative but also efficient, compliant, and grounded in real-world constraints.

This portfolio reflects the diversity of my professional experience and my belief that architecture must be purposeful, adaptable, and deeply responsive to the communities it serves.

My Story

From a very young age, drawing became my primary language. Sketching and visual expression weren’t just tools—they were my voice. My passion for architecture began with a simple three-dimensional sketch on a post-it note when I was four. That single drawing sparked a lifelong relationship with space, form, and the built environment.

I quickly developed a natural understanding of spatial experience—how spaces are shaped, perceived, and felt. I would spend hours redrawing the floor plans of my family home and my school, observing buildings around me and translating them into sketches. My parents recognized this early talent and gave me their full support, encouraging me to nurture and develop it.

That early passion led me to pursue a degree in architecture, where I consistently ranked among the top students. Throughout my five years of architectural education, I earned first-place awards in design studios and maintained a place on the university’s honor list every year. I was later offered a full PhD scholarship, but I turned it down not out of disinterest, but out of a deep desire to immediately practice and fully dedicate myself to the profession I knew I was meant for.

Although my formal professional experience began in 2011, my architectural journey started nearly 30 years ago. It was shaped by a unique beginning—one that taught me the power of visual language, the importance of space, and the joy of transforming imagination into reality.
