Get to Know

What is your favorite place you’ve traveled to?

Montreal, Quebec City, Canada. While Montreal is home to many architecturally significant buildings and structures, I was personally drawn to the Jean-Talon Market in the city’s Mont-Royal district. Its modernist-market design, open-air character, urban-integration all speak to the place’s cultural significance and has become one of my favorite examples of ‘urban-market’ architecture.

Favorite architectural material or detail?

Brick and Terracotta. CEPT University in Ahmedabad, India by the architect Balkrishna Doshi is a perfect example of how the humble brick and terracotta can create beautiful and impactful spaces.

What’s a hobby or interest outside of work?

Cooking. I love to cook for my loved ones and host dinner parties!

What’s your favorite building in Philadelphia?

The Atheneum of Philadelphia.
