About 

I have a proven track record of delivering high end residential, commercial and hospitality projects while working at renowned architecture firms in Toronto, New York City and London. I have taken that experience and cultivated it into my own practice, Still Architects, where I also cultivate new relationships with freelance work if the collaboration is beneficial for both sides.
