My formative background in social and environmental psychology has allowed me, as a professional architect, to guide clients through increasingly complicated design journeys within the stringent context of historic Washington, D.C. neighborhoods.I appreciate that it takes time, attention, and understanding with Owners so they feel heard, valued, and respected as their project develops. I have found that establishing this type of relationship often leaves people feeling more satisfied and less anxious. This, in turn, allows for open constructive dialogue that works wonders when the process runs smoothly, and is vital when it doesn't go as expected.I welcome anyone who would like to connect with me about shared design values and/or learn more about other interests of mine, which include sailing, biophilia, and Ohio State football.
