Architectural design for life’s spaces and places – built on passion.
With over twenty years in the architectural profession, including over ten as a licensed architect in the state of Wisconsin, I bring a passion for design, critical eye and attention to detail to every project I’m a part of. My last decade in architecture has focused on multi-family residential, hospitality and commercial buildings with previous experience in industrial architecture, urban design and historic preservation projects.
