I am a registered architect currently working for Davis Brody Bond in New York City. Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to work across a diverse range of projects and scales, from retail work located in historic heavy timber warehouse space, to small single-family homes, to museums exceeding a hundred thousand square feet and hundreds of millions of dollars. I’m dedicated to enriching our built environment through the practice of architecture. This dedication transcends typologies and aesthetics. Most recently my work has been for various cultural institutions including the National 9/11 Memorial Museum, The Frick Collection, Ellis Island, and Valley Forge.
