Past         

Architecture + Urban Design

I have been designing and developing platforms for building communities, sharing knowledge, and empowering teams for almost 20 years. My side projects include Pylos and The Complexity Explorer - webapps designed to collect and help designers engage with a more connected and complex world. Other digital diversions are on my website and some are open-sourced.

I am a registered architect in Colorado and Oregon focusing on computational design, environmental performance, and connected and human-centric urbanism with Masters in both Urban Design and Architecture from Iowa State University. I am a believer in the design-build way of production, striving to make places and spaces specifically designed for people, and enjoy researching how technology can help. I am always up for a week-long build project and love getting my hands dirty.
