About

I am passionate about sustainable design. As a leader at my firm advocating and educating on sustainable design principles, certification systems, and best practices, I am a resource for the office and beyond.

After graduating from Cornell University, I began work with a focus in sustainable design. From the outset of my career, I began accumulating knowledge on LEED, Passive House, ILFI, and just good design practices. I have worked on a very wide range of projects, including exhibit design, hospitality, residential, aquariums, higher education, and more. There is opportunity for sustainability practices in every aspect of what we do, and I strongly believe in using our shared knowledge to create great design.
