I'm a designer who finds
connections between the unexpected.
My process begins with a question.

About Me



I am creative problem solver with experience in design and project coordination. While working on my master's thesis, I found a diagram of how architects should also be hackers, data scientists, and algorithm builders. I saw it as my call to be an interdisciplinary practitioner.

My background has taught me how to look at projects critically and analytically through research, design, execution and costs. My skill-set is a mix of architecture, design, data analysis, and research. I also have a strong interest in data visualization.

I'm currently located in the San Francisco Bay Area and I have degrees in Architecture, Comparative Literature, and Japanese Language & Literature. I enjoy building things and thinking about how it all comes together.
