With rich and varied professional experience, a diverse skills set, and in-depth knowledge of design at three different scales, I have a keen understanding of how to bring projects together to create intimate moments, flawless details and grand impacts, all while being sensitive to the physical and cultural context. As a social art, I believe architecture has an obligation to promote the greater needs of the urban environment and the people who live in it. It is my desire to utilize design as a tool for creating positive change in the communities where I work.
