I create immersive, human-centered spaces that balance technical performance with atmospheric storytelling. With a background in architecture, lighting design, and engineering, I bring both technical precision and a strong intuitive sense of how environments are experienced and perceived. My work is grounded in the belief that sustainability and experience are deeply interconnected: light impacts ecology, materials shape behavior, and spatial decisions influence long-term resource use. I’m particularly interested in design that operates across scales, from policy and systems thinking down to the sensory experience of a single moment.
