Portfolio.
Here, you can find a curated collection of my professional architecture work. Work includes some of the renderings and presentation drawings that I have assembled over the years as well as some of the RFP and Award Submissions work that I have completed. Additionally, you can find samples of some of my freehand illustrations, which I frequently use as the backbone of any idea generation for any project, large or small.
“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step” is a phrase I often remind myself of throughout a project, particularly in the nascent stages of conceptual and/or schematic design, when a single vision can often evolve into the nucleus of a project, carrying it forward all the way to the end.
