Architecture and Construction
Welcome.
Thank you for visiting my E-Portfolio. I am an architect and project manager who understands the complexities of traditional and cutting-edge construction delivery methods. In particular, I have branched into the design of accessory dwelling units (ADUs). I have the imagination and expertise to design big ideas into small spaces, resulting in amazing habitable ADUs. The buttons below explain how I became interested in designing ADUs.
Leadership.
My leadership is many things...it's situational, it's about being a servant, it's being an advocate, and a good communicator. Most importantly, leadership is the cultivation of relationships, especially by listening to others, understanding other perspectives, and acting on my personal values that can be encapsulated in "doing unto others as you would have them do unto you."
