To me, EWP is… a tight-knit community of architects and designers. We are a full-service architectural interiors firm with a direct specialization in workplace environments. Our primary goal is to provide leadership and guidance to the team throughout the architectural process. EWP is able to bring a vast pool of knowledge and experience to the table to assist with any questions or problems that may arise. Ultimately, our goal is to deliver a well-designed, highly-functional finished product that is enjoyed by those who use it.

How I came to architecture and design… I have always had a knack for creative things growing up as a child. But my pathway to architecture was a bit of trial and error. My interest in the technical aspect of design first sparked when I enrolled in a CAD course back in high school. I enjoyed the course content so much it got me thinking of how I could apply this to my future. This led me to my first opportunity at an MEP Consultant firm. The engineering side really struck a note with the technical side, but the creative side was still lacking. In transferring to architecture, I found a role that was fulfilling on all fronts.

My role at EWP… As Principal Architect, my official role is to manage projects, overseeing them from conception to completion. I have a heavy hand in the scheduling and detailing of each project, but also collaborate with the project team to create a cohesive design. Outside of my typical Principal Architect duties, I assist with some of the more technical items throughout the office such as code compliance, lighting specification, and software management. I like to think that I bring a helping hand to those who need it.

Outside of EWP… I spend the majority of time hanging out with my beautiful daughter, Ava. In my spare time I enjoy cooking of all kinds, from baking to grilling, as well as catching up on the latest movies and TV shows.
