Research Interests
What I'm asking
I’m interested in how design is a mediator (as reflection, commodification, or product) of cultural values, identities, and global sociopolitical histories, and how the built environment spatializes and performs these narratives. I’ve always felt that there is an ongoing dialogue between the self and place, that the two shape each other, and it is my mission to identify and engage the sites—from national museum exhibition to local enclave storefront—where this dialogue unfolds in real time.
