About



I’m a multidisciplinary designer who is focused on representational drawing techniques and small-scale fabrications. I hold a BA in Architecture from the University of New Mexico (UNM) and an MArch from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD)

I have honed my multidisciplinary skills to process, iterate, and communicate my design ideas through various mediums. Processes such as photography, printmaking, and metalsmithing have been fundamental in shaping my design ideology. The built environment serves as a playground for crafting and preserving our narratives. I am is passionate about designing and illustrating custom solutions for specific contexts.


Orange 


For years I have collected orange items, it is the color of creativity and joy. It promotes a feeling of wellness and emotional energy that stimulates mental activity. While it isn’t my favorite color (green), it is the color I seek out the most in life. Wherever the color orange is, there’s bound to be something interesting/beautiful within its inhabitation. 

The best orange is #ff7e30, the orange used in Frank Ocean’s 2012 channel ORANGE album.
