I am interested in architecture, interior design, historic preservation, and urban planning, as well as many other disciplines. In my work, I believe in the need to integrate all of these fields in the practice of architecture, incorporating the building within the context of the surrounding landscape and larger urban environment. This reflects my ability to think technically as well as to see the big picture, and to collaborate well within a team environment. I believe in a personal ethos that architecture has the power to involve a collection of disciplines, cultures, and histories, forming experiences that shape not only spaces, but also important memories and ideas.
