My background is in residential design and construction where I learned how things were put together and building systems interlaced. I feel compelled to build things, to solve problems and to help people. Architecture allows me to do this. I am technical and detail oriented while maintaining the big picture. I value the design process and strive for innovation and sustainability in my projects. My experience physically building homes gives me a deeper understanding of the process of proper construction and this is reflected in how I approach detailing project drawings. I am a firm believer in communication and collaboration with my clients, consultants and colleagues.
