I am highly motivated to work at a firm that balances innovation and creative thinking with common sense and experience; pushing ideas through a sustainable modern design.  Since graduating from Pratt Institute in 2008 it has been a passion of mine to integrate design and construction with effective and efficient solutions. The last three years I have been working in Shanghai as an architect, first for Aedas, a large multinational architecture firm and second for Sparch, an award-winning design studio. My international experience has allowed me to work on various types of projects such as commercial, retail, high-rise residential, mixed-use, business centers and museums, that have been developed from conceptual to construction stages. These experiences have allowed me to immerse myself in complex work environments that require good organization skills while promoting strong team collaboration. I look to continue my career as an architect and designer at a practice that is capable of enriching daily life and creating truly inspirational environments.
