About 

I am a Licensed Architect in the State of Oregon, working at Soderstrom Architects in Portland, OR on K-12 and Higher Education projects. I achieved my Master of Architecture at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in May of 2016. My thesis dealt with the drought and housing crisis in the California San Francisco Bay Area. I have worked with Lydia Kallipoliti on the her exhibit and book, Closed Worlds, for The Storefront for Art and Architecture in New York City, and on her exhibit at the Istanbul biennial. I was a scholarship recipient for the 2015 Digital Stone Project where I spent a month in Grammolazzo Italy with Garfagnana Innovazione creating a marble sculpture with a 7 axis robotic CNC mill and finishing it by hand.
