I am fascinated by how materials, assemblies, and details - from joints to imperfections and the building’s afterlife - shape architecture over time; most recently, my work explores how daylight can be captured, transformed, and experienced as a spatial material.
Architectural Designer at IwamotoScott Architecture in San Francisco, contributing to projects from concept design through construction. My work spans large-scale institutional, corporate, and workplace projects, including a 150,000 sq ft Center for Hearing Research and other projects across California. I work at the intersection of design development, façade systems, and technical documentation, coordinating with clients, consultants, and contractors to translate conceptual ideas into buildable architectural solutions.
Lead Architectural Designer — Selected Projects
Innovation Place (84,000 sq ft, 2025); 2120 Berkeley Way (65,000 sq ft, 2025); 201 Spear (3,500 sq ft, 2024).
My professional work builds on research developed during my Master of Architecture at the University of California, Berkeley. My work on mass timber and material-driven design was exhibited at the AIA San Francisco Student Best Project Exhibition. I was awarded the 2023 Raymond Watson Prize and the UC Berkeley CED Design Award, and invited to present my thesis on energy-efficient hempcrete housing at the Innovation Expo hosted by the Berkeley Energy & Resources Collaborative.
Following graduation, I worked as a Research Assistant at UC Berkeley with Professor Neyran Turan on Hempo House, a project developed for the Lau Grant for Just Climate Futures, investigating hempcrete construction for low-carbon residential architecture. The project received first prize in the 2024 Best of Design Awards from The Architect’s Newspaper.
Across both academic and professional work, I focus on architecture that bridges material research, environmental responsibility, and the realities of construction.
