ABOUT

I founded 08 Studio because I greatly enjoy working directly with clients to create innovative design solutions unique to their spatial and lifestyle needs. I believe in the importance of detail-oriented thinking and how it reinforces the big ideas of a project, and I love seeing a project evolve and come to life during the construction process.

I am a licensed Architect in the State of New York, primarily focused on high-end residential spaces, with experience ranging from interior renovations to ground up development buildings. My experience encompasses all phases of projects, from conceptual design, building department approvals, construction documents, and construction administration.
