I am

Bits of Me! —->

I am an Ontario licensed Architect (OAA) with over 20 years of industry experience and worked at a variety of award-winning architecture firms across Toronto, I led a solo architectural practice from 2018 to 2024. I am also a visual & dance performance artist that loves [AI] as a revolutionizing tool and passionate about social justice.

I love creating playful, creative immersive and embodied spaces and art that bridge sensuality and expression through visual storytelling explored in a variety and combination of mediums/media such as 3D computer modelling, CADD - computer assisted design/drafting, digital art, graphic design, artificial intelligence [AI], illustration, photography, animation, experimental film & dance arts! I love combining creativity and technology!

My other creative passion projects range from performing burlesque & artistic movement to alternative modelling as well as artistic & creative direction including costume designing and costume styling for music videos or creative photoshoots and graphic designing for branding & visual identity.

I currently work as an Architect at a large Corporate Canadian Architecture firm here in Toronto with a focus in healthcare architecture, an architecture guest critic at various universities and a board of director member for East End Arts in Toronto. I am also a committee advisor and graphic designer for a non-profit civic engagement organization based in Buffalo, New York, U.S.A. (where I call second home) and hold near and dear to my heart - Coles House Project!
