ABOUT ME
Within the convergence of biology and architecture lies the driving force behind my artistic mission. I believe the best innovation comes from the mixing of many passions.
With a background in biology, architecture, and fashion, my work aims to bridge both our human-made world and the intricate systems we inhabit to design regeneratively with nature.
Currently, I’m based in New York where I have been exploring the concept of a “Restorative Design” at Terreform One and Genspace NYC through experiments with biomaterials, textiles, technology and ancient human building techniques.
