What I'm looking for

I’m looking for opportunities where design, technology, and human experience come together—teams that value design leadership, collaboration, and technical rigor as we deliver high-quality architecture from concept to documentation.

I’m fascinated by the relationship between people and the environments they inhabit. Over the past decade, I’ve worked across civic, educational, multifamily, and residential architecture, transforming complex ideas into thoughtfully executed buildings.

My greatest strength isn’t only producing drawings—it’s integrating architecture, engineering, materials, and diverse teams into cohesive design solutions. I enjoy understanding how systems interact to shape human experience, from coordinating public schools to detailing a custom steel canopy and planning fire stations.

In my recent role as a Project Manager and Project Designer, I primarily supported a fire station and maintenance building for Renton Regional Fire Authority, bringing design leadership, technical rigor, and coordination through construction documentation. I work to keep deliverables clear while aligning consultants and fabricators to achieve vision and constructability.

Today, I continue exploring architecture through independent design work and educational content creation, while seeking opportunities where design, technology, and human experience come together. I’m driven by curiosity and craftsmanship—and I believe great environments should not only function well, but enrich everyday life.
