Born in Miami. Raised sketching on napkins.

My parents are architects, so I learned early that a house is a set of decisions, and that the ones nobody photographs, where the outlets go, how deep the drawer is, whether the pantry door clears the fridge, are the ones you live with every day. After design school at UF and a Master of Architecture, I spent my first years at two other Miami firms, then joined Borges & Associates in 2016 and worked on residential and commercial projects across the city, learning the construction side from people who take it seriously.

What I kept noticing was the gap. Beautiful architecture, and then families moving in with nowhere to put anything, buying furniture in a panic, and never quite finishing. Casa Chiang exists to close that gap: one studio that takes a home from the first walk-through through install day, and then makes sure it actually works once the boxes are unpacked.

Casa Chiang opened in 2021, and the work since, from 12,000-square-foot new builds to a single galley kitchen, all comes back to the same promise: a space designed for the way you actually use it.
