About 

I'm an architectural designer living and working in Northern Virginia. I earned my M.Arch I from Syracuse University and my B.S. in Architecture from Georgia Tech. 

I've worked at two firms largely on residential projects, working directly with the partners and usually as the direct liaison with owners, contractors and consultants. I've worked on many projects from start to finish, and have the most experience with design development, construction documentation, and construction administration. I also engaged with marketing, including renders for RFPs and project documentation (photography, photo editing, and drawings) after project completion.

I am currently self employed, working with other designers, independently with homeowners and also with professional photography and videography.
