I have experience in commercial architecture and planning (specializing in schematic design, design development phases) in addition to rich experience in senior living, memory care, assisted living, and multi-family design (early concept phase, schematic design, construction documents, permit drawings, and design review boards) Additional detail on my career journey can be found below.

I am a young leader with strong organizational and time management skills with the ability to effectively work on multiple projects simultaneously. During my career, I have served as a critical asset for design, production, and thought leadership on project teams in Commercial, Mixed-Use, and Housing studios across multiple firms. I have experience working with high profile clients and luxury brands. I have led diverse teams throughout my career in the participation of design competitions, youth education outreach, and committee involvement.

I have a keen graphic eye and study industry trends to bring high quality workmanship to every job. I possess refined graphics, rendering, and presentation skills to display convincing salesmanship and competency of design elements. I enjoy being involved from project inception to completion. In my spare time I love to paint, travel, and do photography.

I believe in cultivating kindness. Sustainability, Installation Methods, and Construction Costs are equally important to me as the people who are creating the products or doing the work. I am a firm believer in honesty and integrity when it comes to doing good design and good business.

I have the ability to coordinate with others and handle the complexities of the management of design, construction, rehabilitation, and remediation of building and infrastructure projects, ensuring durability of materials and structural soundness from loads and pressures caused by environmental or human influence.

I am an active volunteer and mentor for AIA, ULI, and NOMA. Please take a look at the Civic Engagement page to learn more about my outreach efforts.

It is important that the design community works together toward improvements in the built environment that are innovative, inclusive, and supportive of social equity in public and private spaces. From my experience, it is equally important for existing residents to have a sense of ownership and have pride in their communities while welcoming new. Strengthening the sustainability of neighborhoods should be at the forefront of the any city or neighborhood revitalization efforts. With these things in mind, a Citizen Architect’s role is now more important than ever!

I believe that architects and designers can become better advocates for the profession by sharing their time and talents with underserved communities. Attending community meetings and volunteering for community charrettes is a great way to give back and stay connected. Bringing together ideas and individuals from diverse backgrounds is critical for the advancement of the profession. Architecture is unique in that it affords opportunities to contribute meaningfully and embrace the local community. Staying educated and vocal on local policy changes is also a key aspect in our advocacy efforts.
