About

Not trying to be everything. Refusing to be less.

I move between studios, job sites, terminals, and train windows — designing spaces, writing systems, and watching how people occupy both. Architecture gave me structure. Code gave me leverage. Photography keeps me honest about what the world actually looks like.

This portfolio is a running log of that overlap: plans and pixels, facades and frontends, fieldwork and frame grabs. It’s not a finished product. It’s the current snapshot of a practice that is still very much under construction.

Four active channels

01
Architecture

Structures & sections

Working across academic studios and built work documentation, I treat architecture as a way to choreograph experience: light, circulation, material, and pause. Drawing, modeling, and iterating towards spaces that feel inevitable, not inevitable.

Web Development

Interfaces as infrastructure

I design and build web experiences that feel architectural: clear hierarchies, strong grids, deliberate thresholds. From small personal tools to expressive portfolio sites, I use modern front-end stacks to turn ideas into fast, legible interfaces.

Photography

Wildlife & city edges

From reserves to rooftops, I use the camera to document how non-human life moves through human-shaped worlds. Most of my time is spent waiting. The images that survive are about patience, timing, and that thin line between observation and interference.

Leadership

Collective momentum

Studios, hackathons, campus initiatives — I gravitate towards spaces where small teams are trying to move quickly without losing depth. My job inside those groups is usually the same: translate, clarify, and keep the work grounded in reality.

The Lens

Two archives: one for the non-human, one for the everyday human.

I'm not trying to be everything. I just don't see why I should be less than everything I actually am.
