I am a multidisciplinary designer, builder, and entrepreneur.

My real estate development company Hooper and Keap is based in Ridgewood, Queens, where I have worked to build a small-business community. I also operate a small design/build company that serves both commercial and residential clients. Notable projects include La Colombe Cafe’s flagship in NOHO; Rolo’s in Ridgewood; Variety Coffee Roasters in Chelsea; and Radio Bakery in Greenpoint.

I am also the founder of Woodward Residency — home to a small community of writers, artists, designers, and entrepreneurs who work out of a small number of private and shared workspaces. Woodward Residency also hosts a Guest Residency that awards a limited number of three-month residencies with access to free work space to a rotating community of emerging and established artists, writers, designers, and musicians.
