I am a versatile architect with experience in all phases of project design and execution from interviews with clients to construction administration. Throughout my experience I have developed comprehensive knowledge of what it takes to get a project completed from a technical and conceptual standpoint. I am passionate about developing design solutions that integrate the project objectives with appropriate contextual moves both in a social and environmental sense of the word ‘context.’ My Alaskan roots, education, and professional experience allow me to identify with a diversity of cultures, architectural scales and client needs, making me a quick learner and strong leader.

Maintaining a collaborative relationship with fellow team members and our clients is a priority in a small firm where a personalized experience is paramount.
Rogers Marvel Architects, New York, NY, US, Intermediate Architect
While at RMA I worked on a variety of projects from urban infrastructure, adaptive reuse, competitions, institutional, and retail projects.

My work on competitions brought me face to face with future clients and allowed me to contribute directly to the growth of the firm. My responsibilities ran the gamut from conceptual diagramming, space planning, construction drawings, material choices, submittal reviews, and team management. At any given moment I was working on at least 3 projects and managing teams from from 2-4 people.
