I am currently seeking my next position within the Architecture and Design fields.
I hold a Masters of Design Research in Urban Design, Planning and Policy from the Southern California Institute of Architecture, as well as a Professional Bachelors of Architecture from Oklahoma State University. My education bridges traditional, handmade, beaux-arts architectural techniques and craft with contemporary, parametric, digitally driven design and fabrication.
I have a wide background which has influenced my loves of Architecture, Urbanism, Socially Responsible Design, Teaching, Green Building and Living, Craft, and Music. I am a quick learner, and adapt rapidly to new challenges while maintaining high standards of quality. Over the next decade I plan to obtain professional certifications and architectural licensure in order to begin to positively influence the built environment.
