What captures and holds our attention? This question drives my work, just as it once guided my career in healthcare. A decade in Chicago hospitals showed me how deeply our surroundings influence well-being—humans thrive in environments that engage both mind and senses. We’re naturally drawn to the intersection of structure and spontaneity, pattern and fluidity.

In my practice, I pair bold urban minimalism with biophilia—our innate connection to the natural world—creating work that balances the precision of the built environment with the organic energy of nature.

Glass is my primary medium because it transforms constantly, shifting with light and motion. When layered with concrete and metal, it produces a striking interplay of brilliance and opacity, fragility and strength. The result is a series of luminous, ever-evolving compositions that bring energy, depth, and dimension to contemporary spaces.
