About
I bridge building science with design for the human experience.
Master of Architecture graduate with CPHC® and LEED Green Associate credentials. My design process pairs modeling and integrated analysis with a strong focus on the human senses.
I use vibrant color, light, and material texture to create spaces that actively engage occupants while remaining deeply rooted in local regionality and context. As a technical designer, my goal is to prove that high-performance sustainability and rich, human-centric storytelling belong together.
