About 

I am a Master of Architecture graduate from the University of Virginia with roots spread across all parts of the state. Since graduating from the University of Virginia in 2022, I’ve worked for and continue to work with WG Clark in conducting principled design and testing the cusp of elegance and strangeness in what could be termed a Grave Architecture. I am interested in design concerned with Place, intensely rooted in its physical and cultural context, and my thinking is directed toward investigating the social relationships between the individual and its material environment. I intensely believe in the value of creating physical objects and seek to engage the Hand and Eye as much as possible in this digital era. In my spare time I enjoy painting and playing music.
