I am a designer, fabricator, and collaborator. I design, publish, and print an independent architecture magazine, planned and crafted site specific public exhibitions, and created an independent art gallery.
My goal is to synthesize a wide range of great ideas. By breaking down silos, we do better work.
I attended university within the city of Chicago, and completed studies in Europe for a full year in Rotterdam, London, and Prague - earning my Bachelor of Architecture from the Mies College of Architecture at the Illinois Institute of Technology.
Currently living in Seattle, I enjoy putting my nose in a book, cooking, or obsessing over plants. You can usually find me with a camera in hand exploring the evolving urban environment. When we work together, we can create a shared vision for a better future.
Have a listen to my friend, Zubair Bhaidani, throw questions at me on Chicago Creatives Shoot the Sh*t. We discuss the process of creating Free Association Magazine and the future.
