About / CV
Designer, researcher & AI consultant
Assoc. AIA · MA · Doctor of Design candidate
I work across visual design, creative production, and applied AI. My background in architecture and visual effects informs how I approach composition, scale, light, materiality, and the development of a visual idea.
My practice combines making with research and experimentation. It spans music video production for Drake, architectural visualization, university teaching, public speaking, and enterprise AI consulting for Turner Construction.
I am completing a Doctor of Design at Florida International University, with graduation expected in December 2026. My dissertation examines designers’ responses to inferential discovery in generative image and video workflows.
