I spent the formative years of my life growing up in Wenatchee, Washington.  I have a deep passion for the outdoors and protecting the stunning wilderness that I have come to know and love.  Much of my interest for architecture comes out of my love for the land untouched. Throughout my career as an architect I plan to be deeply involved in adaptive reuse projects, as well as researching and implementing further sustainable methods of design and the design process.



For the next year or two I plan to be an intern to establish work experience and learn from daily practitioners in the architecture field.  My goal is to attend graduate school to attain my Masters of Architecture after I gain work experience to discover the areas of architecture I would like to pursue further.

I am a graduate of The University of Washington.  On June 8, 2012 I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Architecture Studies from the College of Built Environments at UW.  This website is a compilation of three years of work as an architecture student, intern and freelance designer.  Please explore and enjoy.
