I always wanted to be an architect,
but I’m not a typical one.
When I was a kid, I loved Legos and drawing. In the fifth grade, I was introduced to the world of architecture, and BOOM! I knew what I wanted to do. I studied architecture at Kent State and graduated with a bachelor’s in architecture in 2001.
Then, I moved to Arizona in search of the sun. Here, I worked for several architectural firms where I learned the art of architecture… and the kind of architect I wanted to be. I’ve always wanted to give clients the best they deserve.
My dream of owning a firm came true in 2016. Yes, I’m a 100% woman-owned firm!
Today, I help clients achieve their goals, and I get to improve the built environment with a higher purpose. I work hard for clients (which sometimes means fighting for them), am sincere in my enthusiasm (some might call it passionate), and never give excuses, only solutions.
One more thing. Strong, independent women who forge professional paths and break glass ceilings inspire me. It surprises me that 50% of university architectural graduates are women, but only 20% of licensed architects are female. There’s something wrong with this picture. I intend to inspire female architectural students to pursue their dreams—break barriers, rewrite the rules, and create a rewarding and bad-ass lifestyle!
There you have it. Oh, and when I’m not thinking about your project, I’m reading, crafting, or living the dream as a mother.
Welcome to bad-ass architecture.
