The Builder of Holding Spaces · Bereavement Architect, Memorial Space Designer

She designs bereavement spaces — physical architecture built for mourning. Every memorial she's worked on has been touched by thousands of hands. She has never allowed herself a space for her own grief after losing her sister at 23.

“I build spaces for grief I haven't let myself have. I'm starting to think that's not sustainable.”
