About
Born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio to the world's most wonderfully British Parents. An ex-gymnast who competed from age nine through nineteen, but is still not afraid to throw down in the random handstand contest. Attended Ohio State for an undergraduate degree in architecture. Spent a year abroad in London working for Allies and Morrison (they're an architecture firm). Still can't do a decent british accent to save my life despite this and the fact that my parents are 100% British. Undergrad wasn't enough so I decided to go the University of Pennsylvania (not to be confused with Penn State - oh don't you even dare) for a Master's of Architecture. Graduated a year ago and have since been working in New York City at a small, young architecture firm, HWKN. I'm really happy with where' I'm at.
