Architectural designer
and project manager
I follow a project from its first drawings into the questions that arise in plan check and construction. In the studio, I use plans, models and sections to test how a building is occupied.

Practice
My work at Ames Peterson included modeling, drawing development, permitting, consultant coordination and project management. On Second Ground, I joined after the original design and permit. I coordinated construction questions, field revisions and supplemental submissions during the rebuild.
At SS Design and ROMB Structural Engineering, my work centered on existing-condition and as-built documentation and assistance to the project manager.
