My current research centers on wellness design, spatial care, urban public goods and intangible infrastructure, also explored as part of a broader inquiry into how cultural and wellness innovations are created, valued and scaled in capital and innovation systems. With a certificate in Investment Management from NYU, I embrace quantitative analysis and economic frameworks as essential bridges among design research, technology, markets and the creation of new categories of value.

I recently developed Airmo (a journaling app for emotional wellbeing), and am currently directing cultural curation and alternative asset strategies at Galerie de Nuage. I am also a licensed architect, and have worked on design and management for widely published wellness, residential and institutional projects with complex stakeholders, international footprint and construction budgets reaching into the hundreds of millions. I had my M.Arch from Columbia University GSAPP with coursework in Real Estate (joint with Columbia Business School) and my B.A. from Washington University in St. Louis.

Efforts to conserve our planet and contribute to the communities have been an important part of my work. I co-founded a platform for wildlife conservation in 2013, produced a documentary on Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge in 2014, contributed to What is Missing? in 2018 and volunteers when available with Red Cross (China), Women in Architecture + Design, Alberti Architecture for the Young People, International Humanity Foundation and more. I am always down for an intellectual sparring, and likely to be found at gallery openings / museums  / on the hills outside of work.
