I make things - buildings, objects, models, drawings and images - and I've sought out various venues in which to make them. I'm from Minnesota, and after having attended undergrad at the U of M and working at several firms there, I completed my Master in Architecture from Harvard GSD. I worked throughout my graduate school years and summers, and now I live in Seattle. Browse this page to learn about my experiences, and to view a PDF copy of my resume,
