Mantra: Embrace architecture and urban design to create places in harmony with nature and which elevate human experience.
I am looking to collaborate with people who seek to innovate equitable, environmentally sensitive and culturally appropriate places worthy of the people who will occupy them.
I am trained as an artist, architect, and urban planner. I am on the path to obtaining architectural license, and toward AICP planning certification as well. I am a LEED Green Associate. CPHC + LEED AP certifications forthcoming.
In my spare time I play drums, guitar, and ride bicycles. All work and no play, well...
