I have designed and developed projects from concept to completion over the past nine years at Zaha Hadid Architects. My work spans across multiple scales and functions, across continents, ranging from high-rises, masterplanning, infrastructure, interior and furniture design throughout Europe, Asia, North America, and the Middle East. Completed projects include a LEED Gold certified twisting tower in Milan, a hotel in Macau featuring the world’s first high-rise, free-form exoskeleton, flagship shoe stores for Stuart Wietzman in Beijing and Hong Kong, a kinetic showroom for Versace in New York, and currently being built are two towers in Macau, and a retrofitted hotel in Rome inside an 17th century palace.
I have the rare ability to work in every facet of a project, from the conceptual design level to developing projects through every stage until realized, while maintaining a pervasive thirst for knowledge and ability to constantly be learning.Throughout my career I have strived to push the boundaries of current design practice in order to create innovative solutions to how we experience the built environment.
