About

Backstory Award-winning architect, artist, urban designer and teacher, I am a passionate generalist within an increasingly specialized marketplace. The ability to connect intimate attention to detail to a much broader vision defines my work while commitment to teaming and interactive discourse defines the nature of my practice. Formerly Creative Director and V.P. for URS Cleveland, my career spans a spectrum of project types and scales which include architectural and interior design, urban design, campus planning, and public art. My projects are diverse and include work for universities, transit, schools, corporate headquarters, museums, concert halls, healthcare, and retail design.
