We expect too much of new buildings, and too little of ourselves.

- Jane Jacobs

I'm a high rise city dweller with enthusiasm for travel and an appetite for the arts. Somewhere in between I discovered a feverish curiousity for design and architecture. Or maybe it was those childhood memories of watching Bob Vila restore Victorian homes on the TV show This Old House that set that ball rolling.

Currently I'm working on expanding my knowledge of urban theory, reducing my carbon footprint, and learning how the effects of climate change will impact the design of building envelopes because I believe that positive change will come through meaningful purpose.
