BIO

Hi! I’m Henry. (b. 2003)

Hailing from the land of the Great White North (Toronto, Canada), I grew up chasing the rush of a morning snow day, downhill bike rides, and Beyonce's seminal 2018 Coachella performance.

Though right now I am most interested in how architecture interrogates concepts of material processes, domestic rituals, and the intimate home. It is my goal to then embed these cyles and traditions into greater environmental, political, and literary contexts. My dream is to design, research, and write for a more sustainable future.


Currently: Co-Chair at Better World By Design and Editor at v.1.

Formerly: Managing Editor at Brown Political Review, Architectural Intern at CIVIC, and Maharam Fellow at The ArQuives.
