To me connecting the dots means
Pulling together ideas, tools, and people to solve problems with clarity and purpose. It is about finding objective paths through complexity and making sure the end result works in the ways that matter most to the people it is meant to serve.
When not at work you will find me
Walking trails with my dog Mila, checking out new corners of the city, or pushing my spice tolerance at local restaurants.
I bet you didn’t know______ about me
I lived and studied in Rome and traveled throughout Europe, experiences that continue to shape how I think about space, craft, and the ways people engage with their surroundings.
My favorite place in Nashville is
Shelby Park. I like the mix of open space and wooded trails, and it is one of my favorite places to walk with Mila and step away from the pace of the city.
The reason I wanted to become an Architect
Because I have always been curious about how things come together and how space, material, and experience shape how people feel in the built environment—architecture allows me to bring that curiosity into purposeful work.
