About︎
Process driven Architect & Creative
making works:
rooted in distillation
/that counter complexity with cleverness
/that focus on experiential richnes
/& that draw meaning from place, use & craft
I bring an analytical approach to research & to the design process to create spaces that can distill the essence of a site, of history, of context, and/or of a program into a distinctly unique, meaningful & delightful work.
I originally grew up on the Gulf Coast of Florida and Texas, secretly drawing floor plans on notebook paper in my back of my elementary school classrooms. I was remodeling the family bathroom by the time I hit middle school and spent summers remodeling mobile homes in Texas. I continued on to study Interior Design, Art History, and Urban & Regional Planning at the Florida State University before finishing my studies in Architecture at the Illinois Institute of Technology. I now have 7 years of experience as a Design Lead, a Project Architect, and as a Technical Architect in the K-12, Higher-Ed, Medical, & Workplace sectors on projects as far off as Montana, as big as a million square feet, and as tall as 43-stories with views of the entire Puget Sound Region.
I enjoy applying my knowledge by building things and exploring artistic interests. I re-charge in the backcountry or behind my smoker as Post Oak chars a brisket for 8 hours. Much of my inspiration comes from time spent in sunrised and sunsets afield hunting and many, many hours spent on the bike.
