I am an associate professor of architecture and urbanism at the University of Michigan Taubman College. My work advances urban design strategies promoting cultural resilience and socioenvironmental sustainability. My recent projects are based in São Paulo and Detroit where I examine the processes of urban transformation related to insurgent urbanization and deindustrialization. At Taubman, I teach seminars and studios where I incorporate experiential learning opportunities and translate my research interests to inform curricular frameworks. My interest in engaged pedagogies and the cultural values of water drives my participation in the Detroit River Story Lab. You can learn more about my work at MAde Studio.
