EXPERIENCE
My passion for architecture originates from my interest in nature, cities, and the ability of design to accentuate our lives. I believe great design is much more than its visual qualities and function. It has the ability to engage our subconscious mind, and positively affect our health and wellness. I also believe great architecture respects and enhances the environment it is built within, and efficiently utilizes the energy it consumes.
