I did not arrive in architecture by staying in one lane. The path moved through different industries, countries, teams and responsibilities—and each chapter changed how I see design.
I did not arrive in architecture by staying in one lane. The path moved through different industries, countries, teams and responsibilities—and each chapter changed how I see design.
The path was not linear, but I always intended to return to architecture.
Before design became my full-time profession, I worked across construction operations, customer service, advertising and sales, public administration, military communications, retail and production. Those roles were not detours I needed to erase. They gave me a broader understanding of people, systems, responsibility and execution—the things architecture ultimately has to bring together.
The value of the earlier chapters is not simply that they happened. It is what they taught me to notice when I returned to design.
The profession is something lived - not just finished drawings. Studio reviews, presentations, conferences and site visits all become part of how I learn, communicate and work with others.
Travel, culture, sport and community are part of the experiences I bring back into the way I see people, places and design.
Today, those experiences converge in architecture and urban design, with a keen interest in mixed-income housing, high-performance design and mixed-use work, using analysis to make design decisions clearer rather than more complicated.
