I’m Master of Architecture graduate from the University of Waterloo School of Architecture with a specialization in bio-integrated design and bio-based material studies.

I approach my projects like experiments, utilizing hands-on and embodied techniques such as harvesting organic materials, growing materials, designing and creating material composites, and 3D printing material studies. My research is driven by exploring engaging ways to disseminate my work and connect with the human experience, through mediums such as exhibitions, interactive displays, written publications, and public talks. As a designer, I strongly believe in my responsibility to advocate for underrepresented voices, both human and non-human.

I have three years of postgraduate professional experience and two years of CO-OP experience, working at design and architecture offices in North America and in Europe. Currently, I am contributing to the architecture student publications of UCLA and the University of Waterloo, while also working part-time as a freelance landscape designer. I hope to continue my passion for empathetic and mindful design in the field of urban design and landscape architecture, designing harmoniously within the living world.
