About 

I am passionate about creating functional, beautiful, and sustainable architecture that adds value to everyone's lives.

Architecture is a craft. The best architecture uses evidence based design to make decisions, is designed to be inclusive, plans for various use scenarios, is sustainable and environmentally responsible, contributes to the community, and uses capital efficiently.
