Three decades of design sit behind this practice — not as credentials to list, but as an ongoing way of seeing a room, a landscape, a life.
My work initiates with custom fabrication, lighting analysis, and an assessment of sustainability — working across interior and exterior landscapes for each client, almost without exception. Restaurants, salons, mixed-use commercial spaces, private residences throughout New Mexico, Colorado, New York, and California: each was approached as one continuous design problem, indoors and out, using custom fabrication, glass, lighting, and sustainable materials to give the space and the land around it a single identity. The work was covered in Trend Art and Architecture, Su Casa, the Albuquerque Journal, and other regional press, and shown at art fairs in Miami, Los Angeles, and the Hamptons.
That practice hasn't stopped. It's simply moved home — into the design of my own spaces and land in the Roaring Fork Valley, where the same eye for interior and exterior working as one continues, now applied to a single property rather than a client roster.
Alongside design, I competed in ultra-endurance mountain biking and as a national champion diver — the same discipline, the same attention to terrain and precision, carried through education at Colorado College, the Academy of Art in San Francisco, Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle, Emily Carr University in Vancouver, and the University of New Mexico.
Today, based in the Roaring Fork Valley, the same question drives the work: how does a place shape the people living in it. As an associate broker with Aspen Snowmass Sotheby's International Realty, I bring architects, ecologists, engineers, longevity strategists, and land stewards into coordinated dialogue around a single property vision — treating each site not as a static asset, but as a living system.
Three decades in, the question hasn't changed. Only the scale of what I know to ask of it has.
The living ecosystem contains land, energy systems, the built environment, using materials that contain, define, and perform.
