"Design exploration is a fun and rewarding process and it’s my job to help the team arrive at an optimal outcome together. That means preempting key decisions and bringing the right information at the right time. We are constantly learning and every project is an opportunity to break down the perception that acoustics is a dark art."

Culture Seeker, Bookshelf Curator
When not at work, I’m either at the movie theaters logging my hot takes on Letterboxd, rummaging through used bookstores to add to my growing collection of 650+ books on architecture, exploring museums in Europe, or finding the best bar trivia in Culver City.
