I work to integrate sustainable design strategies and appropriate technology into the architectural projects I design and see through completion. An inveterate technophile, I am an advocate for an open source solution anywhere it makes sense.
I'm fascinated by the business of architecture and how modern methods of communication, project management, & marketing can be applied in pursuit of architectural excellence.
