Throughout my career, I’ve been driven by a natural curiosity about how things are made. Whenever I visit a museum gallery, a specialty interior, or a complex environment, I'm always looking at the details to figure out exactly how the components interface and function. That drive to understand the mechanics of a build is what led me into technical drafting and full-scale project management.
Because my background is rooted in drafting and the literal mechanics of fabrication, I am able to work comfortably between the design team and the shop floor. I understand how to protect the original design intent while focusing heavily on the logistical reality of production, lead times, and site conditions.
Project Capabilities:
Pre-Construction & Detailing: Assisting during the initial estimation and bidding phases, and translating design concepts into actionable shop drawings.
Procurement & Fabrication: Sourcing specialized materials and hardware, managing production schedules, and coordinating workflow across both in-house fabrication teams and external sub-vendors.
Logistics & Installation: Managing the transition from the shop to the field, supporting site leads through installation, and troubleshooting unexpected field conditions to ensure a smooth completion.
For me, the most rewarding part of this industry is standing back at the end of a long build and seeing people experience a beautifully executed space, knowing the precise teamwork and problem solving it took to get it there.
Outside the Shop: When I’m not managing projects, I stay active outdoors. Just like in my professional life, I tend to dive into my interests head-first, usually spending my time surfing, snowboarding, or hiking.
