I started my career in architecture, working at firms like WXY and arq911 where I learned how to research user needs, to think in terms of modular systems, and to consider how my work relates to society (and maybe even impacts it in a positive way).

I’m passionate about the design of cities and am involved with several advocacy organizations working to improve transit, public space, cycling, and walking in NYC, like Riders Alliance and Tri-State Transportation Campaign.

I love houseplants, ramen, dogs, cats, learning foreign languages, roller coasters, the NBA, coffee, Tokyo, trains, backpacking, David Bowie, statistics, and writing letters to elected officials.
