About 

As a B.Arch. graduate of the University of Oregon, I have much experience with "Green Design" as it is the specialty of the U of O. Through the courses I have taken and through my independent knowledge seeking, I have developed an affinity, intuition, and compassion for sustainability.

My design process is highly holistic, drawing from the existing conditions and the program to form the parameters to design within. I see architecture as the necessary vocation for accommodating society, and because of this I feel that architects have a tremendous responsibility to work for the people and not above them.

Some of my architectural interests include urban design, sustainability, kinetic architecture, and integrated systems.
