I am a highly motivated and enthusiastic architectural designer. I have a bachelor’s degree in architecture from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with experience in architectural design, CAD based programs, sustainable design, parametric design and construction processes. 

My background as a designer started in high school where I became passionate about the process of design-build while working on small scale furniture projects. I entered and won several awards for custom furniture pieces in the San Diego Fair. Upon entering college I found a job and worked many years for a stair builder where I was introduced  to the building process as a field installer and parts builder for custom staircases. During my fourth year of architecture at Cal Poly I lived in Copenhagen Denmark, where I was immersed in the sleek elegance of Danish design while studying architecture from highly regarded Danish architects. More recently I had the privilege of spending the last two quarters of my education here in Santa Monica. During that time I was an intern architect at Marmol Radziner and Associates. There, I was intimately involved in much of the design and construction process and I became well-versed in the day-to-day activities of a successful architecture firm. Since graduating I have been working for local architect, Stephen Phillips, who was also my thesis advisor at Cal Poly. I am responsible for creating existing drawings and designing small residential remodels. My long term goal has always been to work in a design firm where I can work on a variety of different projects while contributing to the continued success of a productive firm.

I work well in a team, contribute to high morale in the workplace, and am passionate about my architectural career choice.
