BIO

I am a licensed architect and design principal with 24 years of experience shaping places where people work, live, heal, and learn. Across civic, commercial, and healthcare projects—nationally and internationally—I’ve pursued a belief that the most beautiful solutions are often the simplest ones: grounded in context, shaped by purpose, and built to make life better.

As a Principal with NBBJ in Columbus, I’ve led the design of award-winning projects that reflect the evolving needs of communities and organizations, translating vision into spaces that inspire and endure.

I am a LEED®-accredited professional and registered architect in Ohio and Michigan. I earned a Master of Architecture from the Knowlton School at The Ohio State University and a Bachelor of Arts in Architecture with distinction from Miami University (Ohio).
