ABOUT

International Architect and Design Leader
AIA · NCARB · LEED AP · AI · CANL · MAA · MSA

My passion and specialty is the creation of building and spaces that delight all the body's senses. The human experience of the world is multi-sensory, and much of our time is spent in designed spaces, both indoors and outside. Bad lighting, harsh sounds, uncomfortable seating, ugly signage, and flimsy materials attack our senses and dignity at every turn. My goal is to design places that make people feel comfortable, welcomed, cared for and loved. In this environment we are well poised to do our best work, to live life richly, foster meaningful connections and feel at peace.

In 2025, I was honored with the Young Architect Award from AIA Michigan.

I am a registered architect in the states of Arizona, California, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, and Minnesota and the countries of Denmark, Iceland, and Sweden and I am a certified Interior Designer in the states of Illinois, Indiana and Minnesota.

I have a NAAB Accredited Bachelor of Architecture degree from the college of Architecture, Planning and Design at Kansas State University.
