Versatile, results-oriented, and personable designer with demonstrated success.

I also lead A&E disciplines (Architectural, M.E.P., Fire Protection, Structural, Civil, Landscape) in project development.

With 27 years of experience, I have the ability to develop architectural construction documents for permit, and lead design team. Experienced in working along side city plan review and development staff to complete a project. Ability to develop 3 dimensional images for presentation materials. Experience in coordination with construction superintendents/contractors/sub-contractors. I have the ability to lead clients thru early stages of land acquisition and horizontal development, project scope and budget development. Experience in historic preservation.
