About 

I am a dedicated and collaborative leader who enjoys working with teams to develop and implement elegant, ecologically sensitive design solutions for buildings, communities, and local economies. I have worked for over five years in coordinating architectural design, research, and construction, as well as sustainable development initiatives for local and indigenous communities in Southeast Asia. I’m a LEED accredited professional and received my B.ARCH from the University of Oregon School of Architecture and Allied Arts. I am energetic, responsible and not afraid to fail forward, in fact I’m motivated by the belief that the only worthwhile endeavor is the next impossible task.
