About 

I am a licensed architect in Illinois. I hold a Master of Architecture degree from the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, IL and a Bachelor of Science in Urban Planning from Arizona State University


With a background in urban planning, I have a strong interest in civic architecture, the design of public space, and socially responsible design.

I see design as a means to explore the concurrences of culture, politics, ecology, and urbanism and I am interested in architecture’s capacity to act as a commentary on society. I also have an appreciation for the act of building and I believe that successful architecture confides in refined craft and detail to gild our surroundings.
