My practice moves between architecture, art, and design, drawing on an architectural foundation to explore questions that don't sit neatly within any single discipline. Projects take shape as installations and pavilions, publications, games, models, sculptures, objects & jewelery. The common thread is an experimental approach to space and human interaction.
