I am graduate of Drury University with a Masters Degree in Architecture, with minors in graphic design and sculpture. I am drawn to every level and form of design, and the opportunities they have to impact people’s lives. I believe great design comes from understanding the client, community, and the project while using exploration, rationale, and creative problem solving to discover what the project wants to be. I have also developed a passion for making, whether it be the creation of spaces that grow and inspire communities, or the craft of a sculpture or other object that encourages interaction with its users or viewers. I am always exploring, problem solving, and craving knowledge. I love collecting concept art books, and engaging with art and architecture in different mediums. When I'm not studying or designing, you can find me playing guitar, relaxing with a book, with the ones I love, covered in dog hair from a large lovable Siberian Husky, or spending too much money on decorated cardboard.
