About 

I am an eternally curious and passionately inventive designer and creator. With a background in art, architecture and construction, I bring intuition, creativity and rich experience to my roles as lead architect, educator,  carpenter and general contractor. 

I wanted to be an architect since the age of ten and spent many years working and studying in areas peripheral to architecture before taking the plunge. From pouring concrete for grain-bins on Southern Minnesota farms, to teaching woodworking to native Bajans in Barbados, to cutting mortise and tenon joints in China, I have merged my talents in design and construction with my desire for travel, learning and diverse experiences.
