I am an architect, designer and architectural photographer based in Chicago, where I am currently working as an Associate at JAHN, and received a professional degree in architecture at the Illinois Institute of Technology. My interest in architecture and photography are heavily intertwined, as both practices involve the contextualization of our vision of the built environment, either built or imagined.
Where did I grow up?
The beautiful rolling hills of Eastern Iowa
What’s the best pizza in Chicago?
I don’t want to make any mortal enemies, so I’ll just say Lou Mal’s
Favorite Photographer?
Iwan Baan. He revolutionized the movement to bring humanity into architectural representation in the past 15 years.
What do I like to do with my free time?
Explore undiscovered (to me) architecture, neighborhoods, and spaces in Chicago on two wheels, with a special emphasis on the South Side
Favorite Architect?
Eero Saarinen. I admire the way he was able to craft a Modern style, yet allowed all of his designs to be unique and exceptional in their own right.
