About

Design integrity, carried through every detail.

Design shapes how we live, work, and play. I make sure a project's design holds true through every decision, from concept to completion.

For nearly two decades I've taken complex projects from concept through documentation, procurement, and construction. I know what needs to happen, by whom, and by when. I keep clients, consultants, contractors, and design teams moving together, balancing budget, schedule, and constructability without losing the idea at the heart of the work.
