ABOUT ME

I was fortunate enough to obtain a position in the architectural industry at a very young age, and I moved up quickly.  I found myself putting off college, so that I could advance and learn more in the 'real' world.  I was happy with my accomplishments, but with the intent of becoming a more well rounded designer, I went back to school at ASU while running my own residential design business, and later received a Bachelor of Science in Design in Architectural Studies degree.  I have over 21 years of experience in the field; consisting of a luxury custom home builder, several architectural firms, and also for myself - which broadened my knowledge of the business end of the architectural environment, something I have found to be invaluable.

The approach one takes towards a project, I feel, is of the utmost importance.  Working diligently with the client, as well as remaining connected to the potential that each site offers, I believe creates a more significant and rewarding project (for the architect, client, and for anyone else who experiences it). 

I have always pushed myself to work thoroughly and efficiently on each and every project, whether it is in research, in the CD phase, or with contractors during the building process.  I love working out the minute details, but am able to stay focused on the 'big picture'.  I truly believe that if you don't do the best that you can, and put your entire self into a project, it is pointless to even begin.
