I am a junior architect, felt craftsman, and watercolor artist with an insatiable curiosity and a need to make connections between everything. I strive to create strong architectural characteristics that engage the occupant's senses. The duality of Architecture occupying us as we occupy architecture is a consistent theme throughout my studies and projects.
I strongly believe Architecture can only be successful with smart planning, universal design, an integrated site ,sustainable details, and a great knowledge of building assemblies. I am excited to learn and grow in all these aspects of the profession as I work towards licensing and beyond.
