My Story

I am a Registered Architect, Designer and Project Manager with 20 years of experience in commercial, single family custom residential, multi family, mixed-use and town planning projects.  Over the course of my career, I have had the opportunity to manage projects from the initial concept to construction administration. I have participated in design competitions, some of which have been awarded first prize. I am also an Adjunct Professor at the School of Architecture at Florida International University where I teach Graduate Design Studios. 

My aim is to create beautiful environments rooted to their place. While all of these projects are guided by aesthetics, economics and the environmental and social responsibilities, no particular “ism” can summarize my design approach, except perhaps optimism. By looking at each project through the eyes of owners, occupants and neighbors (human, animal or vegetable) I approach every building project with the responsibility and opportunity to improve the built environment and the lives of its inhabitants.
