I am interested in space making that works within an ecosystem. With our environmental context in constant flux, both globally and locally, it is important to me to be in consistent dialogue with any place that new work might be embedded. I believe that good things come from care and attention, from listening to the surroundings. Socially, work should be shaped by the needs and wants of those who will encounter it. Ecologically, a new space should always enrich the environment and community it is a part of more than it takes from them. Delightful experiences are discovered as the built work pushes and folds within these constraints, rendering projects simultaneously inward and outward facing.

As my relationship with architecture is just beginning, I have more questions than answers. These questions leave me deeply curious. Every project is about learning, and each that I have had the opportunity to work on has taught me something unique about how the social, natural, and built environments collide to create a place. It is my hope to maintain this curiosity even as I build on my knowledge so that the questions develop and change rather than fade away.
