Born near Atlanta, Georgia on a 36 acre farm, I had a strong connection with the outdoors as a child. This connection is what inspires my work in urban contexts, and my thoughts on our interaction with the built environment.

At Auburn University, I began to learn about vernacular architecture's passive responses to climate, to economic needs, and to local material sources. These historic precedents inform my exploration of contemporary sustainable practices in architecture.

​

After moving to Brooklyn in 2012, I was given the opportunity to design and to build the garden of a neighborhood bar in Williamsburg. This project lead to a fruitful partnership and small design-build enterprise that was maintained throughout my time in New York City. The knowledge I gained here continues to influence my architectural thinking.

​

In my professional life, I chose to focus on building skills in project management and in the software Revit, which has helped me to excel in both efficient and effective design documentation.
