My top goal in life is to help people, especially by helping people through mental health in the built world. The way that I intend to do this is to create environments that will make people physically, mentally, and emotionally at ease. I wish to help create narratives in spaces by working closely with the client and the design team, especially as part of an integrated project delivery system that creates spaces that affect and heal the viewer both physically and mentally through encouraging healthy life choices.
My skills include Revit, AutoCAD, Photoshop, Illustrator, Bluebeam, Google Sketchup, along with writing and editing.
I also enjoy cooking, history, looking at systems, board games, and making things.
