I joined NEXT architecture in 2011 and advanced as a partner in 2022. At NEXT I specialize in client relations, project management, conceptual design and firm processes. I bring over 18 years of project experience which includes commercial office buildings, workplace design, residential projects, healthcare facilities, retail projects, light industrial projects and mixed-use projects, both new construction and renovation. My expertise includes client interaction, project management, initial project planning, design development, quality assurance and construction administration. I am a proud Kent State alum and have kept close ties with the university through teaching as a professional. I previously maintained adjunct faculty positions in the College of Architecture at Kent State University and the Interior Architecture Department of Chatham University.
