To me, EWP is… a highly knowledgeable and creative team that collaborates to solve our client’s design problems. Every project is unique, and our group’s diverse skill set complements each other to create a well-thought thorough solution that addresses the client’s priorities and needs.

How I came to architecture and design… I have always had an aptitude for technical subjects like math and science plus a curiosity for how things work. After taking a few art classes, I discovered that I also have a creative side and I especially grew interested in photography. I found that a completely creative or technical profession would not be enough. Architecture is the perfect marriage of both.

My role at EWP… As Lead Architect, I see projects through from start to finish. Working with the client to identify their needs, coming up with a solution that addresses those needs, creating the documents needed to communicate the design, and working with the contractor to see it realized are just some of my responsibilities. I draw on over 25 years of experience to be an effective and productive member of our team.

Outside of EWP… I am a wife and a mom to two boys. I spend lots of time on the sidelines of soccer games in addition to watching karate and guitar classes. I still enjoy photography and am an avid reader.
