BIO
"ESTABLISHING CONNECTION, - A MEMORY, EXPERIENCE, SENSATION, IF ONLY FOR A MOMENT, THESE ARE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT INTEREST ME IN DESIGNING FOR OTHERS. ARCHITECTURE IS SOMETHING I'VE ALWAYS WANTED TO DO SINCE AS EARLY AS I CAN REMEMBER. I REALLY NEVER GAVE MYSELF A CHANCE FOR ANYTHING ELSE. IT PROBABLY CAME FROM MY DAD TEACHING ME HOW TO BUILD SINCE I WAS 5. LUCKILY ENOUGH I NOW GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO DESIGN FOR OTHERS AND I LOVE IT, GETTING DOWN TO THE DETAILS OF THINGS. CREATING SPACE THAT SPEAKS TO PLACE, THAT IS WHAT I STRIVE TO DO."
