Upon graduating, he moved to Bangkok Thailand and collaborated with Francois Roche of New-Territories where he worked on developing a range of projects from an art exhibition, a pavilion, to a private museum proposal.

He then moved to Beirut, Lebanon where he worked for architect and artist Nadim Karam & Atelier Hapsitus and partook in the design of a house, as well as two short-listed, and assisted in a proposed art strategy for the city of Doha, Qatar for the World Cup 2020.
Currently he studies as a MEXT scholar at The Univ. of Tokyo, (Yusuke Obuchi' Lab) where he is finalizing "Choreographic Architecture"; a project that revolves around the intersection between human body, machine, and material, and how to intrinsically hybridize the three into one process. In 2015 he co-founded with Deborah Lopez (n) approximations an interdisciplinary design research studio focused on the boundary between speculation and reality.
