At a young age, I went to France to study painting. I heard meaning, a construct of culture, coded in language; the way we live is a collective choice. In 2009, I won a fellowship to research earth construction in the Middle East, Africa, and South America. In my travels, i witnessed the scope of the challenge humanity faces. in 2014 I graduated from ubc’s architecture school and was awarded for academic excellence.
In 2016 i founded f2a and dedicated myself to helping humanity adapt to climate change by sharing human connection and technology across boundaries - both social and political. the firm has become a workshop for the assembly of local materials and ideas collected abroad into methods for sustainable resilience. through a combination of design and construction work, I guide the growth of our social enterprise towards meaningful impact.
