About 

I am a project architect at a firm which specializes in multi-family, retail and interiors. The work I do on a daily basis includes project management, construction document development, detail development, consultant coordination and design development; in no particular order. I am hungry for knowledge and aspire to be an architect which thinks about the design holistically; realizing that the ultimate built design affects everyone, client and neighbor included.
