Her work investigates and experiments with the intertwinements across architecture, the environment, technology, and socio-politics through design methods that mobilize systems-based approaches and computational design. Her work ranges from material prototypes that explore environment-aware behavioural building skin assemblies, to high-performance building design, to research on urbanism, infrastructure, and territorial practices explored through techniques of mapping and analysis, speculative design propositions, installations, and writing.

She is a licensed architect and a Founding Partner in the research-based practice RVTR. Founded in 2007 and with offices in Ann Arbor and Toronto 2007, RVTR has served as a platform for exploration and experimentation in the agency of architecture and urban design within the context of dynamic ecological systems, infrastructures, materially and technologically mediated environments and emerging social organizations.

She is also a co-founder of the Metropolitan Futures Group, a trans-disciplinary design consortium comprised of internationally recognized researchers and designers across different University of Michigan academic units that was established to address the problem of the notable absence of design in policy processes that affect the organization, form and materiality of constructed environments; and, therefore, issues concerning quality of life.

She was the Oberdick Fellow at Taubman College (2006/07) and has previously held teaching appointments at the University of Toronto and the University of Waterloo. She has spent over ten years in practice as a project architect and senior designer on urban masterplans, institutional buildings, private residences, and design competitions; and has also spent several seasons working with archaeological teams in Carthage, Tunisia.

She holds an MA in the history of art and architecture from the University of Toronto, and a Professional BArch and BES from the University of Waterloo, Canada.
