Educated as an architect, Erblin has worked in multidisciplinary environments focusing on process-driven design that explores the historical and socio-cultural contexts of a place, resulting in complex architectural and urban models of collective space. While at KMDG, he has been part of design teams for major projects, including Fisher Hill Reservoir Park, Central Square in East Boston, Kennedy Plaza, and more recently 500 Boylston, 2 Harbor, Seaport Circle, and more. His prior experience consists of work in the public sector, teaching, and participating in design competitions. In 2015 Erblin was part of the winning team at the internationally renowned architecture/urban competition Europan 13: The Adaptable City II with their 'SEAMbiosis' proposal for the City of Gjakova in Kosovo.
