To me, EWP is… a synergistic collective of passionate designers working to innovate the idea of the workplace. EWP has been the best place to launch my professional career because I am given the opportunity to thrive and grow. I am surrounded by some of the best architects and interior designers in the field who wholeheartedly support and inspire me every day.

How I came to architecture and design… I find architecture to be the juxtaposition between technicalities and aesthetics. I have always appreciated creative solutions to seemingly complex, technical problems. With this, and the help of CAD classes in high school, I realized architecture was the field for me. Architecture can greatly enhance a person’s experiences and the quality of their life, which has ultimately motivated me to continue pursuing architecture after my initial curiosity. I draw inspiration from the spaces I inhabit every day, and I hope to do the same for those I create space for.

My role at EWP… is to work closely with experienced designers to develop as a young architect. I help with project production and documentation, design development, and I am constantly building professional relationships internally and externally. Collaborating with all extents of the office has helped me to feel confident in my work at EWP as I continuously learn more about the professional scope of architecture.

Outside of EWP… you can find me walking my basset hound on the lakefront trail, binging reality TV, or playing video games. I also enjoy exploring my hometown of Chicago through its food, music, and nightlife with my family and friends.
