I am inspired by the saying, 'architecture is frozen music.'
I started training to be a classical pianist at a young age and was fortunate to perform for the first two decades of my life. What I love most about music is its power to let people communicate beyond the barriers of language. The idea of architecture as frozen music really motivates me – I hope that good buildings can also be deeply empathetic, accessible to all, and engage with communities long-term.
I feel lucky to be part of such a knowledgeable and inspiring team of professionals at LMSA, and I am excited to grow in my personal practice of architecture so I can better serve the population of the Bay Area.
