Design begins with conversation.

Aspirations and expectations enter a dance with sites and senses. To build gathering places within existing sites and ecological systems requires a thoughtful creative process. What I love about design is that dialogue, and how ideas are shaped and re-shaped to engage and become part of the physical world. With experience in custom detailing, large community master planning, and many scales in between, I enjoy collaborating with clients, contractors, architects, artists, and engineers to help realize visions.
