I’m a CA Licensed Architect currently in Mendocino County looking for work in Architecture / Construction / Woodworking. I love to create human-scale furniture/objects that invite interaction and spark joy. My dream is to rekindle the connection between us & our built environment through thoughtful craft and careful detailing.

In May 2024, I finished two years at The Krenov School of Fine Furniture — time I spent slowing down a bit and immersing myself in the lessons of woodworking (and the secret magic of the school). I was at my workbench most the time, heightening my sensitivity to wood, the tools to work it, and to myself as the woodworker. I am incredibly lucky for the opportunity.

I was previously working in the field of architecture, pursuing my license before relocating to Mendocino. I worked in San Francisco at Síol Studios as an Assistant Project Manager, designing residential architecture primarily. 

In the heat of the pandemic, I was in Santa Cruz working part-time as a Designer/Drafter at SpaceCamp Studio, a design-build practice led by Trevor Jones and part-time as a woodshop assistant to Andy Orsini at Andy’s Fine Woodworking. 

My first job out of architecture school was as a Junior Designer/Technician at Neumann Sloat Arnold Architects, Inc. in Oakland — honing my building detailing skills and learning about the importance of waterproofing. 

I graduated as a Bachelor of Architecture cum laude from Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo June 2019. My year-long thesis project focused on the potential of adaptive re-use: connecting with existing environments and materials to create a beautiful convolution of stories in material and space. 

I spent the school year of 2017/18 studying architecture and furniture design in Copenhagen, Denmark at DIS and the summer of 2017 touring/watercoloring architecture in Switzerland and Italy with a Cal Poly Abroad program. 

I’m skilled in analog and digital representation (hand drawing, watercolors, Adobe Creative Suite, 3D digital modeling softwares, physical model making, woodworking) and I am excited to learn more about fabrication and construction.

A little more about me personally — I’m from the Bay Area in California (Montara / San Francisco / Alameda), I run as a daily life practice, I love to be outdoors (especially on my feet, on a bike or in the ocean swimming or surfing), I draw, watercolor, and read in my free time. I love to be deeply connected to my community and environment.
