About.

---

I attend the Architecture School at the University of Virginia, studying global history, theory, and criticism. I fancy untold humanities narratives and architectural history, and art.

Character Home is a platform where I explore and share my passion for home, delving into its spatial and material aspects. I aim to inspire and provide details for preserving and adapting vernacular and bespoke home architecture, achieved through alacritous writing and smartphone photography. Furthermore, studying and applying critical theories elevates our understanding and approach to these diverse subjects.

My enthusiasm extends to the relationships and intersections among history, architecture, fashion, decorative art, fine art, gardens, graphics, jewelry, photography, and textiles. Character Home takes inspiration from design elements across various disciplines and connects the dots within the design world, fostering a comprehensive understanding of home.

I echo the late Fred Hiatt of the Washington Post: 

"What I do believe...is...really good, serious, readable, reliable [content] and really good, serious, readable, thoughtful, unpurchased, non-yelling opinion" (Washington Post). 

I travel to many places, but much of the writing and photography refined for characterhome.com happen on the territory homelands of the Monacan Nation and Piscataway Nation.
