About

I'm an architect and designer with a passion for creating spaces that serve their communities. My work spans religious, commercial, and residential projects — each one an opportunity to shape how people gather, work, and live.

My approach draws from the belief that great architecture begins with listening. Every project starts with understanding the needs, aspirations, and context of the people who will inhabit the space. From master planning to interior detailing, I work to ensure that each design decision serves the whole.

Based in Houston, Texas, I've had the privilege of working on projects ranging from intimate worship spaces to large-scale commercial developments. Each project has reinforced my commitment to thoughtful, human-centered design.

Currently — exploring the intersection of sacred geometry and modern construction methods.
