About 

I have designed and overseen urban projects including, high-rise condo, multi-use commercial, medical, and university/institutional projects. I pride myself in being a well-rounded architect, comfortable in the creative process as well as the technical aspects of buildings and construction. My passion is building design. Exploring solutions, presenting options, and keeping the process directed and moving are my imperatives. My technical expertise and experience in building systems, construction, and building codes allow me to produce relevant, concise documents whether in AutoCAD or Revit. I am an effective communicator, being direct and open, with focused diplomacy. My communication skills have allowed me to be the point of contact for the design team and the conduit to the client, the consultants, and the contractor.

I hope we can talk more about how I can help your organization.
