I am an architectural designer based in San Francisco. I aspire to help make the built environment
more livable, sustainable, and equitable through housing accessibility, better materials, and better
labor practices.
I am pursuing these goals as a designer at
David Baker Architects, an executive
editor of The Last Straw magazine, and a
director on the board of the
California Straw Building Association.
I have collaboratively designed and built a housing project at the
Auburn University Rural Studio, and fabricated custom architectural features with the
DBA_Workshop.
I believe that regenerative building (which to me includes: maintenance, repair, building less,
adaptive reuse, bioregional construction methods, a circular construction economy, biobased material
use, equitable supply chains, and environmental stewardship) is critical for architects to
successfully address both the housing and climate crises.
I'm interested in all the ways that people are pursuing regenerative building, in whole or in part,
through practice or policy. And I'm particularly interested in the intersection of regenerative
building methods and affordable housing. If that's something you're interested in too let's talk
about it!
