Most of my experience is within architecture firms - and it is my goal to become a licensed architect.
My Journey
Born and raised in Metro-Detroit, my journey is not one of many miles. Rather, it is one of many years living in the same area; watching it evolve.
Somewhere along the way, a career in architecture and design started to feel possible.
Rooted in architectural practice. Pushing the boundaries of adjacent industries.
Architecture is more than the arrangement of walls, roofs, and materials. It is permanence.
Living things and architecture are inseparable from each other. One necessitates the other and vice-versa.
A project is never finished, but rather given the best possible chance for survival.
What was the original context of a given site or building?
How has an area evolved over time?
Who will benefit from a project being built?
My philosophy is to think beyond architecture while also executing on the fundamentals of a project.
Combining lived experience and shared aspirations with knowledge in code compliance, spatial planning, software, and technique.
