I am a designer, educator, and researcher developing historical and theoretical discussions about the relationship between technology and urbanization.

As an architectural history and theory Ph.D. candidate at Eindhoven University of Technology (NL), my project studies the terrestrial impacts of introducing next-generation aviation vehicles and their attended infrastructures. The working title for my dissertation is “Single European Sky: The Architecture of U-space.”

As a member of the Curatorial Research Collective, recent architectural exhibitions I have co-curated include Mass Supports: Flexibility and resident agency (Spitizer School of Architecture 2023) and Building Bodies (Plaza Vertigo 2022). 

From 2010-2015, I was a principal at the research, art, and design studio Department of Unusual Certainties, where we actively exhibited, published, and developed innovative public engagement events. Individual and collaborative work has been exhibited across Canada, as well as at the Venice Architecture Biennale (2012), Shenzhen Biennale (2014), and Seoul Biennale (2018). 

I obtained a professional master of architecture degree from the University of Toronto’s John H. Daniels Faculty of Architecture, Landscape, and Design (2019), where I received multiple awards. Previously I obtained a bachelor of fine arts (visual arts) from York University (2007), which encouraged my first artistic inquiries into the experience and nature of cities.
