Bio

I love Architecture because it is a constant learning process. Architecture is a truly unique occupation. For most professions, when the workday ends, things are put on hold until the next day. But with Architecture, even after you step out of the office, it's hard to avoid being immersed in it. It's all around us, and it informs and influences nearly every aspect of our lives, often unconsciously. As a result, Architecture is a highly experiential, highly collaborative (and challenging) process. Architecture thrives best in a community of people who constantly question why things are the way that they are, and how they could be improved. My goal is to always approach projects with an inquisitive nature and encourage coworkers and clients to do the same, in order to promote a more collaborative design process that results in meaningful projects.

I attained my Architecture License in the state of Michigan in Fall 2018.
