Unequaled passion for architectural design. The potential that it has to both inspire and influence positive social change is something with which I am very interested. I have had the pleasure of working on large and small-scale projects ranging from retail, corporate interior build outs, to urban planning and site design. Passion for applying skills and abilities to the design of high-density residential/mixed - use projects has led me to my current position of owner principal of my own practice Arcain Design LLC.
