I am a California native, but also a dual citizen. I am an enthusiastic urbanist and champion of public transportation, but grew up in a place with no paved roads or sidewalks. I walk and take the train whenever possible, but I restored my first car when I was 16, and am currently on my 68th restoration. Enamored with DIY projects since a young age, I designed and built my own ADU nearly 8 years before I completed my Masters in Architecture at SCI-Arc.

Intensive design studies coupled with weekly seminars
SCI-Arc’s M.Arch 1 is a three-year, seven-semester program leading to a Master of Architecture degree accredited by National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), allowing graduates to pursue architectural licensure for professional practice in the United States.
The project-based curriculum of the program is centered around an intensive design studio, which focused on developing visual literacy, learning design skills, testing ideas, mastering software tools in an environment of continuous, personal feedback from faculty and peers.

The BLP is distinguished by a unique curriculum that blends academic coursework in business and the liberal arts, and features seven special BLP student-only classes. Students are educated in business fundamentals including accounting, finance, law and ethics, leadership, management, and marketing. The courses and pedagogy emphasize critical thinking, problem solving, and effective written and verbal communication. Students are taught to logically formulate and investigate questions relevant to profit and not-for-profit organizations. Through required coursework in the humanities and social sciences, BLP students develop an awareness of the relationship between business and other important disciplines. Many students pursue second majors outside of business as well.
