About:

I am a Principal Architect at Pearce Scott Architects, where I design homes and neighborhoods that bring together creativity, craft, and context. Sketching ideas is central to my process—both in the office and as an artistic pursuit outside of work.

I focus on high-end custom residential design, neighborhood master planning, and amenity structures that strengthen community life. While much of my work is rooted in one-of-a-kind homes, I also help shape larger neighborhood visions through thoughtful layouts and shared spaces.

With a background in sustainable housing, I bring sensitivity to climate, materials, and the character of place. My goal is to create architecture that feels timeless, authentic, and deeply connected to its context.
