About

With over 25 years of experience as a Design Architect, I am passionate about creating innovative, sustainable, and functional spaces that meet the needs and aspirations of my clients. I have a Master's Degree in Architecture from MIT, and I am a certified LEED AP and a member of AIA Wisconsin. As a Design Architect, I am responsible for developing projects through all phases of design, from master planning, concept design to building architecture and interiors. I have a strong attention to detail and a keen sense of aesthetics, which I apply to every aspect of my work. I enjoy working with a diverse and collaborative team of architects, engineers, contractors, and clients. I strive to deliver solutions that exceed expectations and enhance the built environment.
