My career started in architecture: designing cities, neighborhoods, buildings. The shift to digital felt inevitable: same question, different medium. How do people actually experience this? That question has taken me from CAD to Figma to Claude Code. The tools keep changing.

Designed buildings, master plans, and neighborhood guidelines, shaping large-scale urban projects now in development. Led multi-disciplinary teams across architecture, civil engineering, and landscape architecture, coordinating directly with cities and affordable housing developers.
