About

I am an economist. I have a B.A. in Economics. I approach life with an understanding of supply/demand, cost/benefit, and incentive based decisions.

I am an architect. I have an M.Arch. I am employed as an architect in training. I approach life as a designer. I walk around looking at form, materials, details, and systems. I believe we can improve our everyday lives with good design.

I am a landscape urbanist. I apply my education to the study of cities. I believe cities are organized by a series of formative layers within which people define their environments. I approach the study of cities across a range of scales, with a particular interest in patterning.

This is my point of view…
