Isabelle is a Master of Design Studies candidate at the Harvard Graduate School of Design, focusing on adaptive climate resilience strategies and regenerative material systems for vulnerable communities. She is driven to integrate human-centered design with ecological systems to build adaptive capacity through architecture and urban infrastructure.

Before Harvard, her experience spans leading cross-disciplinary teams on low-carbon proposals and net-zero futures at Henning Larsen Architects, developing post-disaster rural schools in the Philippines, and collaborating with local craftsmen in India using traditional construction techniques.
