I am a hardworking individual with a passion to create. As an intermediary between infrastructure and nature, and social and ecological processes, I hope to help enhance sites in this sense through meaningful, imaginative and artistic design. I have a very strong set of skills when it comes to digital illustrations with Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and AutoCAD as well as 3-D modeling programs such as SketchUp and Rhino. Conceptual design based on a strong sense of place and meaning is something I excel in, and I strive to bring this sense of identity and purpose of a site into fruition.
Since I was a child, I have always been creatively driven through music and film. My creative interests are grounded in the conveyance of feeling, time, and place through sights and sounds. Today I continue to challenge myself creatively with photography and music. This process outside of landscape architecture helps to get me through design blocks and push me with experimentation. It is this kind of creative drive in everyday life that sets me apart as a landscape architect.

Created 3-D models of CSU campus buildings using Google SketchUp. Mentored by Daniel Tal, I worked in a fast-paced internship setting creating models to be placed on Google Earth. We used a mixture of Photoshop and SketchUp, as well as remote information systems to construct a 3-D model of the Colorado State University campus. The modeled campus can be seen on GoogleEarth, and is used for virtual tours of campus for prospective students.
