ROOTED IN PLACE. REFLECTIVE BY DESIGN.

I bring a human‑centered, evidence‑driven approach to architecture, translating each client’s needs into spaces that are both functional and inspiring. With over two decades of experience across diverse project types, I combine technical mastery—from innovative materials to complex code compliance—with a deep commitment to ecological and community stewardship. My work is grounded in the belief that great design should serve people, place, and purpose for the long term.
