I'm a young architect-in-training dedicated to expanding my knowledge of and love for design. My work is heavily influenced by a lifetime spent in furniture shops absorbing the skills of master craftsmen and an understanding of material, detail, assembly, and the human hand. I've developed a broad skillset in 3D and parametric modeling software to help bring these classic skills into a contemporary perspective on architectural design. I strive to create designs that respect the environment, respond to social conditions, and engage with people.
