I'm committed to collaborating with clients to create projects sensitive to their design vision within their space constraints, deadlines, and budget. As a former community organizer, I value listening as critical to the design and construction process; my goal is to enhance their ideas, not impose my own.

As a LEED AP BD+C, Certified Passive House Consultant, and Registered Architect in Pennsylvania, I view sustainability not only as constructing energy-efficient buildings that can save money over the long term but also as creating spaces that enhance well-being, quality of life, and connection to nature and community. This means leveraging the latest innovative tools to make high-performance design an achievable goal for every project and get input from clients about critical decisions throughout the process. I use 3D models to coordinate with contractors, reducing errors in the field and construction cost surprises.

In addition, my creative arts background helps me create aesthetically pleasing designs and problem-solve your unique challenges, making your life easier as a client. I have 10+ years of experience in a variety of project types but primarily enjoy working with non-profit and education clients.

In my role at Metcalfe, I was critical to the successful construction of Bryn Athyn Church School—one of the firm’s largest projects— and used my extensive 3D skills to coordinate and refine the design alongside the owner and contractor team.

Within the studio, I have led the charge for improving Metcalfe’s sustainable design practices, including signing the firm up for the AIA’s 2030 Challenge, and initiated the Technology Group to accelerate our technical expertise.
