Bio
Registered Texas architect, author, researcher, former university lecturer, and CAD/BIM consultant. I hold an M.Arch as well as an MS in architectural engineering from the University of Texas at Austin; I have taught architecture there and at UT San Antonio. I have been practicing since 1993, and established my own firm in 1997.
I design buildings that capture the imagination, express regional beauty and a sense of place, and touch lightly on the earth. My projects reflect their cultural and geographical context, are accessible and comprehensible to the user, relevant to their surroundings, and contribute to a sense of place rather than obeying a preconceived architectural agenda. All my work—whether in teaching, research, or architecture—investigates the intersection of design, technology, and sustainability. I am particularly passionate about working collaboratively to create projects that eloquently express how we use and conserve energy and water, and inhabit the land.
My architectural projects have attracted regional and national press, including Dwell Magazine and HGTV. My residential architectural work includes projects up to 10,000 SF, with project budgets up to $2M. Nonresidential work has included collaboration with other firms on commercial office buildings, school projects, and public infrastructure.
Specialties
Architectural Design, Computer Applications, Construction Documentation: Drawings, Energy Analysis and Design, Sustainable Building Design
Affiliations
American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA); Society of Building Science Educators (SBSE)
Interests
In addition to leading Vectorworks seminars to architects for over a decade, I have presented and lectured widely on CAD and BIM. My current areas of research interest are sustainable architecture, BIM, cooling through passive ventilation, and space architecture, on which I have presented at international conferences.
