He believes everyone has a right to a dignified, affordable, and delightful dwelling; and is in pursuit of more expansive & imaginative designs for housing—from the block to the bedroom.
Currently he is an Associate at Utile, working on multifamily projects across New England. He is also fervently decarbonizing and renovating a co-operatively owned triple decker with friends in Jamaica Plain, MA.
Recently he was the lead designer for Equitable by Design: a zoning research project at Northeastern University, and a Harvard Druker Traveling Fellow investigating cooperative housing design around the world. He is an author of the recently released report: Legalizing Mid-rise Single-stair Housing in Massachusetts, as well as a co-editor of The State of Housing Design 2023, a book about national design trends—both published by The Harvard Joint Center for Housing.
