About 

I am currently an architectural designer residing in Iowa and looking to expand my career. I work on a number of project types from Storage to Hospitality and Health Care to Civic projects. I work under an architect from conception to realization and coordinate closely with owners, consultants, and contractors alike. I am a skilled drafter and always eager to learn new skills and technologies. I got into architecture to grow and strengthen the community and it remains my driving force. So, good luck slowing me down.
