Architectural Project Designer with 7 years’ experience, currently undertaking the ARE 5.0 with the goal to be fully licensed by the end of 2022. I have a passion for construction detailing, while keeping a keen eye on overall project aesthetics. I enjoy taking projects from initial design inception through conceptual SD and DD phases, development of construction documentation through construction administration. I particularly enjoy, liaising with the client/owner's rep to determine material and product selections, while coordinating with the Interior Design team and MEP consultants to develop an overall cohesive documentation set.
Over the last 7 years, I’ve gained experience in hospitality, residential, commercial and most recently retail projects. Experienced with IBC construction code research nationwide, along with sourcing planning, zoning and building department submittal requirements and regulations at DD phase. I’m also very familiar with working to tight, client driven project schedules and timelines.

Comprehensive Coastal Communities Competition, Nomination
After Sandy, affected homeowners now face three basic options: relocate, repair, or rebuild. The combination of all three of these techniques will damage the fabric of established coastal communities. In addition to mandating resilient design, these towns need new ideas on how to maintain their current character, while still being resilient during this substantial rebuilding phase.
Entrants are asked to address a specific Northeastern coastal community, research the damage to that area and local community character. Then design a ‘prototype’ resilient housing typology responding to the local conditions and integrate the prototype into a neighborhood context in the scale of the neighborhood block.
