About 

 Graduate of The Ohio State University with B.S. in Architecture.

Currently attending University of Illinois-Chicago for M.Arch

I am an avid photographer and architectural designer.

"Architecture helps people, it helps society thrive. The design should not just please the eye, it should please its inhabitants. It should borrow from its contexts and maximize its location.

Architecture reflects the potentials of our imagination and the realities of the living world."

"The peacock is a beautiful creature with an endless array of colors to greet your eye. At the Rome zoo, this peacock was gracefully roaming the walkways free in all its glory. As I approached it, it turned towards me, ready to put on a show for the camera."

Mr. Smith also taught at the School from 1918 to 1921 and 1929 to 1956.
