As a practicing architect and project manager, 
I have twenty years of professional experience with corporate shell and interiors,
government, hospitality, medical, educational, and retail sector projects. 
A LEED Accredited Professional, scopes address sustainability and climate change 
through whole building design and integration of green strategies.
.

 Complementing architectural design and balancing creative processes 
with project management, construction documents, and construction administration, 
I have explored the 'art' of architecture with competitions and independent contracts. 
Life is balanced with community activism and environmental stewardship. 
.

A self-taught artist, painting provides an opportunity 
to focus on the figure removed from architectural context.
Handcrafted jewelry, murals, and sculpture bring form to negative space.
.

  I have supported the Dallas art community through sponsored events
such as hosting artists' space in the Deep Ellum Arts Festival, Tunnel Visions 
(fondly recalled multiple-mural gateway to Deep Ellum, thanks to Frank Campagna),
scheduled art exhibits at XPO Lounge (another lost treasure) and other venues,
participating in non-profit fundraisers including The Body Art Ball,
serving on the ACA Board, and maintaining the Artists Collaborative website.

Through art, I have focused upon exploration of Native cultures.
