After designing and rebuilding schools in 2010 post-earthquake Haiti, he began exploring the intersection of design and education at Harvard. During this time he became a Teaching Fellow for Dr. Linda Nathan’s class, “A320 – Building a Democratic School” and an adjunct professor of architecture at Wentworth Institute of Technology. He is a finalist of the Urban Land Institute (ULI) Hines Competition in 2016 and has ran numerous design workshops on improving school designs. He hopes to work with developers, city planners, architects, and Conservatory Lab Charter School to underwrite projects that benefit student learning and produce empowered communities. Stephen started at Carnegie Mellon University, graduated from the Southern California Institute of Architecture, and completed a Master of Architecture II from Harvard Graduate School of Design.
