Designing places that make life better.

I create architecture, urban spaces, and landscapes that are sustainable, walkable, and joyful — places where people can live, work, and feel connected.

I face serious urban challenges with optimism and play — designing homes, gardens, bridges, landmarks, exhibitions, and shared spaces that lift communities and keep people connected.

If you’d like to discuss about an idea, a site, or a challenge you’re facing, I’d love to connect.
