About.

I thrive in environments of innovation and experimentation and love exploring and perfecting radical new concepts. I am known for visualization, foreseeing and preventing design challenges, start-to-finish project implementation, and developing sound solutions to complex challenges. I have a diverse background that includes 15 years of extensive training and hands-on experience as a Red Seal journeyman carpenter/contractor, combined with conceptual design skills from one of Canada’s leading design schools–Emily Carr University of Art and Design. This mixed background provides a broad knowledge of creative processes and design techniques, a deep understanding of the limits and potentials of many materials, the ability to strategize and coordinate with clients and other departments, and, importantly, an appreciation for the value of hard work and finding the best and right result.

My life’s passion is to use my curiosity and imagination to apply collective creativity to innovate bold solutions to pressing challenges beyond what seems possible.
