SUSTAINABILITY

My interest in sustainability started from the thought - "what if we can do a little better". It quickly evolved into a professional interest and full-on project role in less than a couple of years.

To me sustainability is not the cherry on top of design work, but a tool to design with.

The ability to balance economic, environmental and social sustainability tenets, paired with analysis driven design has produced the most efficient solutions for each of my projects.
