About 

HELLO,

I’m Therese. I am a Milwaukee, WI based designer passionate about creating beautiful and relevant architecture. I love getting my hands dirty - I find inspiration in metal working, wood working, and sculpture.

I believe that the tools we choose to design with reveal a lot about us as designers and our design philosophies. I am passionate about learning and experiementing with new tools - both digital and analogue.

Raised on a small farm, I am a true mid-westerner at heart. Growing up in the country side has had a strong influence on my design sensibilities and my intrest in the landscape. When I’m not designing: I am learning how to cook, volunteering, playing the piano, and taking pictures of
any subject that will let me (typically the farm animals).
