I am an enthusiastic and driven professional with excellent interpersonal and analytical skills. With a strong background in leadership and team collaboration, I find joy in crafting unique design solutions for complex problems, bringing a powerful and versatile skill set to any organization.
As an award-winning architect and the 8th person in history to earn a concurrent triple bachelor's degree with honors; I have been privileged to be mentored by notable figures such as Warren Buffett and featured in national publications like Architect Magazine.
Recently, I transitioned my expertise into UX and product design, where I apply my deep understanding of design principles to enhance user experiences and create innovative products. My journey has been marked by a continuous drive to evolve and adapt, ensuring that I bring both creativity and strategic insight from my background to my work in UX and product design.

Meeting Warren Buffett
Mentorship
When I was in college for my undergrad, I was selected among 19 other students for direct mentorship with Warren Buffett and C-Suite Executives of Berkshire Hathaway subsidiaries. The highlight was when Mr. Buffett took us out for root beer floats and Omaha steaks at his favorite restaurant.

Properties 4 Purpose
Regional Development Thesis
Chair: Dr. Sarah Moore
Winston Churchill said, “We first shape our buildings, and then our buildings shape us.” This highlights the deep connection between society and the built environment, and when applied to sustainability, it's clear the two are locked in a codependent circle. That truth in mind, this project aims to create a real estate strategy that enhances quality of life and reallocates private funds to the public sector, demonstrating the codependent relationship between sustainable design and societal well-being.
Architecture & Social Sustainability
Architecture Thesis: Society & the Built Environment
Chair: Professor Christopher Domin
In 2009, the American Community Survey showed record-high social inequality gaps in the US. This thesis explores how the link between society and the built environment can address the basic need for shelter while also benefiting charitable organizations. The project aims to demonstrate that strategic building design can reduce the social impact of new construction and extend sustainability to include social equity, not just energy savings.
Strategies of Business Management
Business Thesis: NTD Architecture
Chair: Dr. Steven Boive
This thesis analyzes the business operations, structure, and policies of the architectural firm NTD. The resulting detailed report evaluates the industry's structure, assesses the firm's resources and capabilities, and provides recommendations to improve its competitive position.

Children's story of a bumble bee named BB, who is determined to build the best hive for his family. Learning from his animal friends how they build homes unique to their needs, he discovers the meaning of form following function.
Community & Connection
Community and connection are very important to me, so I endeavor to challenge myself to a life of service and shared human experiences.
Sobriety Architect
In 2023, I initiated a volunteering endeavor at a rehabilitation facility in LA, where I devised and taught a course integrating architectural engineering principles into recovery concepts for building sobriety.
ALC

Travel
I have loved to travel from a young age. When I was a child, my mother and I made it a goal to visit all 50 states. Since that time, I have ventured beyond the US borders to explore Europe and Central America.
