Beautiful
Our designs embrace a range of styles, always rooted in timeless principles to ensure lasting beauty and functionality.
A building is a significant investment, which is why we design with durability at the core—using lasting materials and smart detailing to ensure it stands strong for generations, no matter what the future holds.
Durable
Efficient
Performance is key, and true efficiency goes beyond energy savings—it’s about smarter layouts, durable materials, and design that enhances how a building functions in real day to day life.

Owner
​Architecture wasn’t my first career, but it was always my passion. I started out teaching art to students of all ages before making the transition to the architecture field. I spent eight years at a local design firm, working on custom homes, additions, multi-family developments, office spaces, and industrial facilities, and much more. In 2025, I launched my own practice with a commitment to thoughtful design, transparency, and getting the details right.
​
I take pride in creating spaces that look great and are highly functional, integrating advancements in building technology to ensure durability and efficiency. Every project is a collaboration, and I work closely with clients, contractors, and the entire team to reach the best possible outcomes.
​
Beyond my practice, I teach various courses in architectural design and drawing at RIT, staying engaged with education and continuously refining my approach. Whether designing a home, a commercial space, or working with a group of future professionals, my goal is always the same: to deliver high-quality content while making the process smooth and enjoyable.
