I hope this finds you well! Design is and has been such an important part of my life – I’ve always been fascinated by it and have been curious to explore all realms. I have a bachelors in landscape architecture and I worked as a landscape architect in Denver for two years before moving to the Bay Area to get my masters in architecture. Over the last decade I've worked in architecture, landscape, interiors and real estate development and have been so fortunate to learn from some of the most talented people in their respective industries.
I currently am working in-house at Rivian and have been a part of the design department here since its inception. I’ve been a part of a huge variety of projects, I’ve helped develop programs and the design direction that the company has started to implement into their built space since I started. I worked on developing a new model for manufacturing; which included making people first and leaning into design to create a democratic experience for all employees, no matter their level, by inserting planting, natural woods and tactile materials that brought humanity to the space. More recently I’ve been a part of helping to develop the company’s approach to ‘retail’. As more of a branded experience, these spaces represent the ethos of Rivian and are more about the experience of the space and how it interfaces with the customer, the community and the environment. It has been a wonderful opportunity to flex my design and management skills in landscape, architecture and interiors.
I've really enjoyed leading teams and working cross functionally with engineers, brand, real estate and construction to manage the execution of projects from site selection, due diligence, through construction and commissioning.

Academy Of Art University, San Francisco, CA, US, MArch, MArch
Focused mostly on how to merge the landscape and the built environment. Found out that the merging of the two can create very interesting urban environments. My thesis study focused mostly on an urban design scheme for San Francisco. I categorized different unused and/or under-productive spaces in the city and came up with ways to repurpose the sites to improve local economies and cultures. Each space was meant to be branded and re-introduced into the urban fabric to become a system of productive and accessible space for all users.
Colorado State University, Fort Collins, CO, US, Bachelors, Landscape Architect
The program was small, which allowed us to gain great relationships with the faculty. They were easily approachable and able to nurture our individual goals. I chose to focus more on urban and social design. Interested in ways that the environment could influence how people interact with each other within built space.
