I am a designer working in landscape architecture and urban planning with a background in contemporary art, curatorial research, and exhibition design.

As a Landscape Designer, I have worked collaboratively on projects including master planning, streetscape art installation, landscape design, and public realm improvements, where I seek to cultivate a deep sensitivity to context, narrative, and spatial experience through design.  

My research interests are rooted in the history and representation in architecture, landscape architecture, contemporary art, geography, and the destabilization of new and fragile landscapes.
