About 

My specialty and creative ambition lie in the ability to move between various fields, disparate perspectives, and multifarious processes to arrive at the symbiotic synthesis of design.  An artist by trade, I have earned an MBA and a Masters of Interior Architecture---both focusing on age specific design.  I am a carnivorous learner and delight in creating and collaboration. 

Employment 

Self, Designer/Builder

A treehouse in Brooklyn: a 48 sq. foot enclosed and lofted structure comprised entirely of found or reclaimed materials. The treehouse is self-designed and built, creating a sanctuary in my backyard that challenges and ultimately dissolves the isolation from the natural world while living in Bedford-Stuyvesant.
