Architect, Artist, Writer




I am an Architect and Director based in Greenwich, CT, practicing at Roger Ferris + Partners. With over twelve years of experience on complex institutional and cultural projects, my work bridges technical rigor, craft, and strategic leadership.

Previously, I served as North American Lead for Renzo Piano Building Workshop, directing projects such as Columbia Unversity’s 600 West 125th Street in Manhattan and The Center for Arts and Innovation in Boca Raton.

Parallel to practice, I am an artist with solo exhibitions in New York and Europe, and serve as Secretary of the Board for the Leo Katz Foundation, a non-profit dedicated to sharing the prolific works of artist and author Leo Katz.

I graduated as Degree Marshal from the Bachelor of Architecture program at Cornell University with a Minor in Philosophy and Concentration in Architectural Theory, and studied in the UK as a Fulbright Summer Institute Scholar.

Thank you for visiting, and please do not hesitate to contact me.
