I am an architect and project manager based in Tampa, Florida, with more than a decade of professional experience. Over the course of my career, I have worked on increasingly complex projects, including major developments with construction values exceeding $100 million. At Studio+, I currently lead healthcare projects ranging from $7 million to more than $50 million in construction value, guiding multidisciplinary teams through design, coordination, documentation, and construction.

Working at this scale has strengthened my ability to maintain a project’s broader vision while resolving the detailed technical, operational, and regulatory requirements necessary to bring it to completion. Regardless of size or complexity, my work is grounded in thoughtful collaboration, technical rigor, and a commitment to creating environments that remain meaningful over time.

My path to architecture was not immediate. After earning a degree in business, I traveled throughout Europe and became fascinated by the enduring relationship between people and centuries-old buildings. I began to see architecture as a form of continuity, a way for one generation to pass its values, knowledge, and legacy to the next. That realization led me back to school to study architecture and continues to shape how I approach the profession today.

I began my career as a freelancer, helping clients prepare project documents and navigate the permitting process. This early experience gave me a practical understanding of how a project develops from an initial idea into a built environment. I later joined a growing architectural practice, where increasingly complex assignments taught me the importance of accountability, clear communication, and lasting client relationships.

My first healthcare and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs projects established the direction of my practice. For nearly a decade, healthcare architecture has remained my primary area of focus. I have worked on projects of varied scales and levels of complexity, coordinating clinical priorities, technical systems, regulatory requirements, operational needs, and the perspectives of diverse stakeholder groups.

I approach healthcare design with the belief that every person should feel considered within an environment of care. This applies equally to patients seeking help, families supporting them, and the physicians, nurses, and staff members who occupy these spaces every day. Through research, collaboration, and careful planning, I develop design solutions that respond to human needs while addressing the operational and technical demands of complex facilities.

My process begins with listening. I work to establish open, professional communication with every client and project team, creating a shared understanding of the project’s needs, opportunities, and constraints. From that foundation, I translate collective ideas into clear concepts and carefully coordinated drawings.

I do not expect every answer to be known at the beginning of a project. Instead, I allow the design to develop through investigation. I test each decision and resolve successive layers of complexity until the individual parts form a coherent whole. I see this process not simply as problem-solving, but as an opportunity to uncover the qualities that give a project clarity, purpose, and identity.

At the center of my work is a pursuit of timelessness. I believe good architecture should extend beyond its immediate function or moment. It should serve people meaningfully, adapt with dignity, and remain relevant long after its completion. Timelessness is not the result of a particular style. It emerges from proportion, material, performance, careful detailing, and a deep understanding of the people and places a building is intended to serve.

Conceptual work provides the spark behind this pursuit. Architectural theses establish frameworks and constraints through which ideas can be questioned, tested, and strengthened. Conceptual investigation creates space to explore possibilities beyond the immediate requirements of commissioned work while bringing greater depth and intention to real-world design challenges.

Healthcare architecture will remain central to my practice because of its scale, complexity, and capacity to improve people’s lives. These projects demand precision and responsibility, but they also offer an opportunity to make difficult moments more humane and everyday work more supportive.

At the same time, I maintain a deep interest in custom residential architecture. Residential design offers a different kind of complexity: the opportunity to shape an environment around a small number of individuals and respond precisely to their routines, aspirations, and ways of living. Whether I am working on a major healthcare facility or a private residence, I am drawn to projects that require close attention to people and a clear connection between design and experience.

Throughout my career, I have worked alongside talented colleagues, consultants, contractors, and clients, building relationships that continue beyond individual projects. I bring the same objective to every collaboration: to create architecture that is thoughtful, personal, rigorously developed, and uniquely connected to the people it serves.
