From my frustrations with auto-centric city design, to design work that I find inspirational, or people who are doing great things, my goal is to share observations on the built environment, the practice of architecture, and ways design impacts how we live. This then allows me to better serve the clients I work with.

Five years spent in an architecture school are nothing less than a roller-coaster that persuades you to find hidden values and varying purposes.

We can design places that have better acoustics and thus create better places to live. The design of our streets, public spaces, and buildings can consider the acoustics of the urban environment just as they respond to climate, weather, and other functions. It is seeing things like this that rekindle my passion for architecture.
