I’m a computational designer who treats architecture as both system and story.

I move between parametric logic and lived experience, building workflows that are as thoughtful as they are precise. My work often sits at the intersection of geometry, ecology, and human behavior — translating data, material intuition, and interdisciplinary coordination into spaces that feel intentional, grounded, and quietly alive
 
I’ve worked across civic-scale projects, advanced parametric design, and research-driven experimentation, and I’ve come to love the role of being a bridge: between disciplines, between people, between the conceptual and the practical. I enjoy the puzzle of making complex things feel simple, the poetry of interlocking forms, and the small moments where technical rigor becomes unexpectedly playful.
 
At my core, I believe that intelligence and warmth aren’t opposites — they’re a design methodology.
