ABOUT ME
Multifaceted designer, architect and creator, driven by a profound curiosity about the human condition and our interconnectedness with the world. Fascinated by the dynamics of space, love, pain, and joy, I explore these themes through various mediums.
With formal training and licensure as an Architect in New York City, I am deeply committed to leveraging architecture as a catalyst for sustainable and socially responsible development. Recognizing the profound impact of built environments on human experiences and emotions, I view architects as stewards entrusted with the task of crafting spaces that honor and elevate the dignity of their inhabitants. Having always resided in urban settings, I am particularly drawn to the concept of biophilic design, seeing it as a vital means to bridge the gap between modern societies and the natural world, and to unravel the intricate networks that bind us to other living organisms and ecosystems.
At present, my practice encompasses three distinct yet interconnected avenues of exploration:
Architecture: I am the co-founder of BOHIO Architecture Studio, a design practice currently focused on residential, hospitality, and retail architecture, where we bring a humanistic approach to the built environment. At BOHIO, we explore and engage with design across multiple scales, including wearables, small objects, furniture, and decor. I provide consultancy services in strategy, design, and construction management for retail and residential projects. I am a passionate advocate for the widespread adoption of bamboo in construction as a sustainable alternative to conventional industrial materials.
Art: I use visual art as a tool for introspection, self-discovery, and creative expression, navigating both familiar and uncharted aspects of my inner landscape through the exploration of different mediums.
Cultural Event Curation: I am highly attuned to the curation of spaces and events and passionate about creating diverse cultural gatherings that cultivate collective joy and creative expression. My focus is on designing experiences that foster expression, healing, and connection.
