About Me

Born and raised in Houston, Texas. I went to the Univerisity of Houston and graduated Magna Cum Laude from the College of Architecture and Design with an accredited Bachelor of Architecture in 2018. I have worked full-time professionally in architecture for 5 years, 3 of which in healthcare master planning, and the other 2 in design, fabrication, and shop management, with an additional 4 years in part-time shop management, fabrication, and education. I have taken my design origins with my excitement for new technology into the field of user experience design. I do contract work for web design, conceptual renders for various designers, graphic design work, short-run product production, drafting, and design consultation as well.
