About — Current Works

Hey. Thanks for visiting.

I am an architectural designer, artist, and urban planner interested in using interdisciplinary design as a conduit for justice, equity, and joy.

Some things I have worked on
- architecture and resiliency planning in the Boston area
- film, urban planning, and community engagement in NYC
- public design intervention in Seoul
- exhibition production and lighting design in Romania

I am interested in using systems legibility as a tool for building power, ecological resilience, and cultural resilience. I like to work with collaborators on contextually specific projects that help imagine or physically build toward a future we can be excited about.

Roles I like to play:
spatial thinker, architectural designer, creative director, director of photography, furniture/object fabricator, editor, idea partner/ backboard, hype-girl, curator, event producer, graphic designer (sometimes), planner, critic, lighting designer, exhibition designer, community member

Brown B.A '18 / MIT M.Arch '24 / just practice Co-Founder with Sophie Weston Chien.

I’m generally down to collaborate or chat, so please reach out.
