SLA is a full service architecture firm with a focus on bringing clarity and intention to the spaces we live and work in. I prioritize a close dialogue with clients so a collaborative process can unfold organically. I believe that there's a quiet kind of sophistication in a space that just works. I have extensive experience working on notable custom homes, ADUs and remodels across Southern California and can serve clients throughout the country.  

​​​​

Following over 15 years working for prominent design firms including MSME Architects in Atlanta and ShubinDonaldson in Los Angeles, I founded my design practice in Santa Barbara, CA. I am well travelled and have spent significant time living on both coasts here in the states as well as abroad in the UK & Switzerland.

​​​​

I received my Masters from the Southern California Institute of Architecture in 2008, have been a licensed architect in the state of California since 2015, and am a member of the American Institute of Architects.
