ABOUT ME

My name is Mira and I am originally from Western Massachusetts. I am a recent graduate of Connecticut College, where I majored in Architectural Studies with a minor in Environmental Studies. Combining my two areas of studies with experiences outside of college, my passions have grown for sustainable architectural design, preservation of the built environment, adaptive reuse, and urban design.

I like to express art and design through various media; drawing, photography, model-making, painting, and writing. I enjoy interior design through my own private home improvement and painting practice. Send a message if you have a project!

Living & Working in Old Places

In the Fall of 2023, I studied abroad in Rome, Italy. There, I took several intensive architecture classes, exploring curriculum through studio design, exploring ancient Roman cartography throughout the city, and learning the recorded history of Roman architecture while simultaneously living within it.

As a carpenter’s apprentice for the Shelburne Museum in Vermont, I spent the Summer 2024 continuing to explore my interests in restoration architecture through various projects on the campus’s historic buildings.
