About 

I started the pursuit of architecture to make my paintings investigate space and spatial concepts with a critical approach, but fell in love with the process of creating buildings.  First project was an "off-grid"  Straw Bale house and I never looked back.  I've studied with and worked beside some fantastic colleagues and in the short span of 10 years, my passion hasn't diminished.  I still try to attain a "soup to nuts" approach, and, given the opportunity, I'd design everything to do with your space, right down to a custom lock and key.
