The focus of my inter-disciplinary practice is to explore speculative concepts in spatial environments to attain a more symbiotic relationship with nature.
My work is often situated at the intersection between ecology, design, and technology and envisions ways of incorporating conceptual practices through facets like bio-integrated systems, agent-based modeling, and user-focused architectural studies.
