I have collected 16+ years of experience in Architecture that includes design, documentation, construction administration, business development, consulting and construction. As an “eternal optimist” I am flexible and enthusiastically take on the tasks that need to be completed, believing that all new experiences are opportunities for learning.

This allows me to be open to possibilities that present themselves through the process of research and discovery that happen as a result of design. Every project provides me with a new assortment of tools and concepts that can be implemented in the future, and wisdom from various project participants.

I am a passionate environmental advocate, and often take on the role of the office sustainability champion. I value social and environmental justice and firmly believe that to design, one must maintain an open mind, open ear, and open heart.

It is this state of mind that keeps me adaptable to change and has guided me to where I am today. Right here, in front of you.
