As a licensed architect with over seven years designing and leading projects from concept to construction, my practice is grounded in a passion for the process and human-centered design.
Empathy for user experiences gives me insight to uncover unexpected possibilities, while ideating and synthesizing quickly to discover elevated design solutions. Natural project management skills allow me to collaborate creatively and effectively across disciplines.
I believe great design emerges through the investigation of key influences from diverse perspectives.
I graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture and Honors from the University of Arizona and have since spent time living and working across the Western US, Singapore, and Beijing. Previously, I designed sustainable commercial offices, educational campuses, and immersive experiences as an Associate Principal at Belzberg Architects (now BA Collective) in Santa Monica, California. Currently, I am an Architect making magic with Disneyland Resort’s Attractions, Hospitality, Area Development, Food and Beverage, and more exciting projects.

Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion
Through empathy and respect, I seek a more just, diverse, equitable, and inclusive world. As a designer, I believe my work has an impact on the lives of others and I endeavor to be responsible with that power to do good.
Serving as co-chair of the JEDI Initiative while at BA, I led discussions on social justice in my profession and my community. With Disney, I am actively involved in Business Employee Resource Groups and seminars to discuss topics such as Inclusive Leadership.
