About me

As a student of architecture, I am driven to create spaces that work well and are easy and efficient to use. Ideally, they are humane and comforting for the visitor. Each building needs to be a home, a shelter, a refuge in its own way--that is the primary reason they exist. As technology and world-view evolves, humanity finds novel ways to utilize materials in a more efficient way.

While we learn from the great masters of the past, we need to hold their principles in the context of today's capabilities, thereby appreciating their tradition of being an innovator. These are what make me eager to keep learning the art and science of organizing spaces and forms, in one word: architecture.

Practicing art, I am inspired to discover ways the Universe expresses itself in form. I am intrigued to find new methods of communicating feelings, beauty, and order. Each shape, color, pattern, or designing principle reflects a distinct quality. As I see it, the artist’s job is to make that quality crystal clear, to help the viewer regard what needs to be seen, and to facilitate a moment of understanding and reflection.
