FOUNDER

​​

With over two decades of experience in leading architectural firms and independently winning design competitions, I founded EK Architecture, PLLC (onE.GLobe) to offer an approach that goes beyond traditional architecture. My vision is to empower visionary developers, ambitious founders, and individuals to elevate their projects through iconic, future-forward designs that inspire and endure.

​

Throughout my career, I have fused innovative technologies, sustainability, and artistic expression to create environments that are not just functional but transformative. I believe that architecture is a powerful tool to shape legacies, helping clients craft spaces that resonate with their ambitions and reflect their evolving vision.

​

Whether it’s for luxury developers seeking to create industry-defining landmarks or founders who see their surroundings as integral to their brand, my goal is to create spaces that push the boundaries of what’s possible. Architecture, to me, is about creating timeless icons that amplify success, inspire growth, and leave a lasting legacy.

​

Our goal is to guide our clients in unlocking the potential of their spaces, helping them shape their brands and inspire their users.

​

OUR VISION

We envision a future where architecture is not only a functional necessity but a central element in personal and brand development. We aim to be the trusted partner for those who seek to create distinctive, future-ready spaces that enhance well-being, sustainability, and identity.
