About 

Currently working as an Intern Architect, and loving it at the bottom!  From a very young age I've been enamored with design and architecture, particularly in regards to place.  Architecture is just a part of  place making, but it's an incredibly powerful tool in either establishing the identity of a park, neighborhood, city, and beyond.  If there's one thing I wish to achieve in the years ahead, it is to give places a positive, and instantly recognizable identity with every project I may be involved with.  Besides my love of design, I have a love for the outdoors and nature.  Whenever the opportunity arises, I can be found hiking, skiing, biking, and smelling the roses.  We live on an amazing, and endlessly varied planet, and I enjoy taking it in as much as I can.
