As an architect with 15 years of experience delivering client-focused service, I bring both technical excellence as well as transformative design solutions for a wide range of projects. Practice areas of epertise include civic/cultural, mission-critical institutional, hospitality (ground up and PIP projects), retail, commercial office buildings, and multifamily mixed-use. I lead team conceptual visioning, deliver high quality project documentation, and exceed delivery expectations in construction administration. I have a passion for cultivating client relationships through a multidisciplinary approach to design. I also champion diversity and inclusion in colleague mentorship, and sustainability in practice that achieves resilience through innovation.
Multidisciplinary Approach
I pursue solutions as a trusted partner with clients, consultants, and collaborators. I believe a multidisciplinary team with diverse perspectives can offer a more holistic vision for design practice. As a leader and designer working in architecture, interior design, consulting / strategy, and digital media, I create spaces where clients are delighted by our solutions, and come to rely on our perspectives.
Diversity and Inclusivity
As 2020 Gensler Research Grant recipient, my team and I partnered with public and private stakeholders to re-imagine a more just and inclusive Stone Mountain park. I also led university outreach efforts with Gensler’s internship program, and through crit. exchange with Georgia Tech, Kennesaw State, and SCAD. I also served on the Community Outreach program Club Ideate – a partnership with Gensler Atlanta and Boys and Girls Club of America to expose design career paths to underserved kids. I’m committed to creating a just and equitable practice where the best ideas are the natural result of commited, collaborative voices.
Resilience
I’m proud to have served as chair of AIA Atlanta’s Committee on the Environment (COTE) 2018, and as active Education and Outreach Subcommittee chair. I also served as Design Resilience Leader at Gensler Atlanta. As a technical leader at Perkins&Will, every project I delivered is an actionable example of how design can serve people and place through measurable impacts on health, equity, and the environment. Design is being redefined by sustainability – helping our clients and communities become more resourceful, resilient, and regenerative. I see design as strategy in action as I help our clients envision a better future.
