About

I grew up around construction, watching my immediate surroundings take shape while the layers of the land around me were being transformed through extractive activity. That contrast continues to shape how I perceive architecture.

I began my architectural education at KNUST in Kumasi, where my dissertation examined architectural performance and energy efficiency. During my time at Yale, I broadened this investigative interest through Unearthing Roots, a study conducted under the advisership of Prof. Mae-ling Lokko on selected mining landscapes in Ghana, including places connected to my own family lineage. The project exposed me to questions of soil, labor, culture, and the ways architecture can respond to landscapes shaped by extraction.

I have worked as a junior architect in New Haven, Accra, and Kumasi, and continue to practice independently. Across these experiences, I have come to see research and design as closely connected ways of understanding and shaping the built environment.

Outside the studio, I mentor architecture students on portfolios, graduate applications, and developing their design voices.
