CA-licensed architect currently operating as a solo practice, but seeking to complement a team of inspired professionals with a synergistic workflow. I am committed to pursuing thoughtful, strategy-driven design solutions. I measure success by delivering built results that exceed client expectations, but also by fostering an efficient, collaborative design and construction process that culminates as a rewarding experience for all.
Experienced with single family homes, small lot subdivisions, multifamily housing, parking design, CAD consulting, and landscape architecture.
