I am an unlicensed architect, artist, and urbanist interested in using interdisciplinary design as a conduit for justice, equity, and joy. In my career so far, I have worked in architecture and resiliency planning in the Boston area, in film, urban planning, and community engagement in New York City, in public design intervention in Seoul, and in exhibition production and lighting design in Romania. As both a generalist and architectural practitioner, my goal is to continue to work with collaborators on contextually specific projects that move toward a more just and joyful future.
Roles I like to play:
creative director, director of photography, furniture/object fabricator, architect, 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 March '24 / just practice Co-Founder with Sophie Weston Chien.
