About

I am an architect, builder, and artist based in Chicago. I'm drawn to space as a bridge between mind and body, and treat every project as a chance to shape environments that are clear, purposeful, and alive. I begin with respect for what's already there and shape it into something people are inspired to inhabit.

Thanks to generous collaborations in Chicago and beyond, my work spans cultural and public spaces, residential renovations, custom millwork, and sculptural installations. Rooted in both architecture and contemporary sculpture, I pair conceptual rigor with technical precision to make spaces that are imaginative and deeply functional—aligning bold ideas with real budgets, timelines, and the needs of clients and communities. The practice is a signatory of the AIA 2030 Commitment, and champions environmentally and socially sustainable design.
