About

I’m driven by the belief that good city planning and urban design harness the power to truly transform communities.

I enjoy working at the nexus between careful research to understand places and creative pursuits to explore design opportunities. From developing a citywide public space program in NYC to guiding new visions for greener, more pedestrian-friendly streets, I’m always looking for opportunities to improve the public realm and enhance the human experience of cities. 

I currently work as an Urban Designer at SITELAB urban studio based in San Francisco, and bring a wealth of knowledge from past experiences in both public and private sectors, spanning east and west coasts.

When I’m offline, you can probably catch me drinking an Americano and people-watching in a plaza, strolling through the newest exhibit at MoMA, or running along the waterfront.

I hold a Master of City Planning with an urban design emphasis from UC Berkeley College of Environmental Design, and a Bachelor of Arts in Urban Studies and Planning from UC San Diego.
