I'm a project architect and urban designer based in New York City with a Master of Architecture in Urban Design from the Harvard Graduate School of Design. I have direct experience on both sides of the studio, as a student who went through the application process myself, and as a professor who taught an introductory architecture and urban design studio at Harvard. That dual perspective gives me a clear sense of how to help applicants present their work and their thinking in the most compelling way possible.
Whether you're applying to an undergraduate architecture program or a graduate school like the GSD, I can help you build a portfolio that reflects your genuine design sensibility and identify what is working, what isn't, and how to strengthen both.
My professional background spans architecture, historic restoration, and urban design across projects in New York and internationally. I have intentionally shaped my career to span the full range of architectural scales because meaningful design at any scale requires a sensitivity to all of them.
Beyond the portfolio, I place equal emphasis on written work. During my time at GSD, an urban ethnography essay I wrote was nominated to the Harvard Loeb Library Archives. This experience deepened my belief that strong written communication is just as essential to a design career as the work itself. The personal statement is often where applications are won or lost, and I can help you develop one that reads with clarity, specificity, and intention.
