I am an architect located in Pittsburgh, PA. I recently passed the last of my Registration Exams and will soon be receiving my license. My goal is to design projects that transform the environmental and economic challenges we face into new opportunities for our built environment, our cities, and our society. I believe in the power of architecture and design to unlock new potential for human thought and I want to work with others who feel the same way.
Strada Architecture LLC, Pittsburgh, PA, US, Architectural Designer
I was a team member on a diverse variety of mixed use and higher education projects located in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and other cities in the eastern United States. The goal was always to serve the clients needs, but to also go beyond them with work that radically transforms and adds to its context.

I worked on the schematic design, design development and construction documentation phases of multiple building renovation projects on the Pittsburgh area. These were mostly existing multistory urban buildings from the early 20th century in the Cultural District and the Strip District.
Freelance Architectural Designer, Pittsburgh, PA, US, Freelance Architectural Designer
A local non-profit company focused on glass artistry was interested in purchasing an abandoned house along the Penn Avenue corridor and transforming it into a boarding residence and storefront. The first task was to measure and draw the house. Later, I worked with them to produce a design that met their housing needs, created an enjoyable shared living space, and gave the building a fresh and renewed presence on the street.
