Welcome.
I am a resourceful building and design professional with experience in architecture, sustainability, and graphic design.
I have a wide range of experiences, including architectural design as well as energy efficiency/energy modeling for LEED projects and state incentive programs. I am in the process of getting my architectural license, have completed more than half of my AXP requirements, and have passed several ARE 4.0 divisions.
I am also a graphic designer with experience in offset and digital printing projects. My graphic design experience is focused on prints, with projects varying from brand identity, to logos, posters, booklets, and T-shirt design. I also have experience in leading graphic design teams for large projects. For my portfolio of graphic design or architectural work, please click on the project albums above.
