About me
I cofounded ARCHITIZER with Marc Kushner, Alex Diehl and Matthias Hollwich in 2009. I am currently the Assistant Dean for Communications at Harvard Graduate School of Design where I oversee the departments of events, exhibitions, web content, publications and Harvard Design Magazine. From 2005 - 2011 I was the Director of Special Events and External Affairs at Columbia University, Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation, where I curated the lecture series, conferences, debates and major collaborations with other institutions. For several years I have free-lanced as a Communications Consultant to Architects and Designers. I advise firms on branding, written and visual communications materials, publications and out-reach to press, clients and cultural institutions. From 2002 - 2005 I was Head of Public and University Programs at the Canadian Centre for Architecture in Montreal, Canada. From 1999-2002 I was an Exhibitions Coordinator for the Institut francais d'architecture in Paris, France. I started my career in the culture of architecture as an editorial intern at ANY Project in 1997-98 and to whose founders and participants I am truly indebted.
