Architectural Designer · BIM Oriented · Paris

Architecture has the power to shape how people experience space, community, and opportunity. My work explores how thoughtful design can create environments that are both functional and meaningful, responding to cultural context and human interaction. I am particularly interested in projects that strengthen connections between people, place, and the public realm.

About

Architectural Designer

I am an architectural designer trained in the United States and now based in France, with experience across academic and professional projects.

My work focuses on how architecture can shape everyday life through space, light, and urban relationships. I am particularly interested in projects that engage the public realm and create meaningful connections between people and their environment.

Currently, I am developing my expertise in BIM and Revit to work on complex, large-scale projects in France and internationally.

The Language

Design Language · Early Studies

Early in my studies, I began developing a personal vocabulary of form through hand modeled explorations, abstract shapes, and spatial gestures that emerged from material intuition rather than function. Over time, these forms evolved into a design language I call The Language, a set of recurring compositional principles including tension, layering, openness, and dynamic movement that continue to inform how I approach space, structure, and the relationship between built form and human experience.

M.Arch Thesis · Spring 2022
Transit-Oriented Development Urban Infrastructure Community Hub

Reframing transit stations as active urban destinations rather than passive infrastructure

Reimagining transit infrastructure as a civic and social catalyst.

Transit Hub — The Metrorail Revisited reimagines the Allapattah Metrorail station as a civic anchor that combines mobility, community space, and everyday urban life. The proposal transforms the station from a park-and-ride stop into a mixed-use public hub where people can work, study, gather, and connect.

Developed as a Master of Architecture thesis at Florida International University, the project examines the relationship between public transportation, affordable access, and urban form in Miami. The research focuses on Allapattah, where the station sits at a strategic threshold within the Miami 21 zoning framework and has the potential to catalyze broader reinvestment along the northern Metrorail corridor.

The design addresses the “last mile” problem by pairing transit infrastructure with public programs that support the surrounding community. Classrooms, coworking space, workshops, media rooms, and indoor play areas are stacked through a layered vertical organization, turning the station into a place of exchange rather than simple movement.

Architecturally, the proposal explores solid and void, layered circulation, and sectional relationships to shape both public gathering space and more focused interior programs. Elevated volumes, terraces, ramps, and integrated circulation systems express the dynamism of transit while reinforcing spatial hierarchy and urban visibility.

Day / Night Studies

Atmosphere · Light · Urban Context

Comparing each project in daylight and at night reveals how architecture changes once lighting, activity, and atmosphere enter the scene. These studies help communicate how a building activates its surroundings, shapes public perception, and extends its impact beyond form alone.
