I am a licensed architect in Oregon and NCIDQ certified interior designer. As Principal at Framework Studio Architecture, I am also an active member in the community, serving as the current President for AIA Oregon, as well as on the Salem Planning Commission. I believe in human-centric, community-enhancing work; creating places that inspire joy and create a meaningful experience with every interaction.I believe deeply in the power of architecture, and the importance of creating places for people and space for ideas; that through collaboration and discourse architects will continue to innovate and inspire. Determination and a passion for design coupled with a strong work ethic and attention to detail are at the root of my work. My best work is done in collaboration with others, leading discussions in an open environment to foster new voices and bold concepts. I enjoy being a continuous thread on my projects, from concept through construction. For me, being an Architect is not a job. It is a lifestyle: purpose-driven and emboldened by the opportunities I am given to leave a mark on my community.
