Principal Architect

I formed Anima Architects out of a desire to collaborate more directly with clients in order to realize and hopefully even exceed their highest aspirations for their particular project while bringing joy to their daily experience in that space.

Prior to this, I spent nearly 20 years working with two of the premier Architectural firms in the Pacific Northwest, collaborating on the design, project management, client and consultant interactions, and construction management for a wide range of projects types including custom single family residential, multi-family residential, mixed use/ commercial, office, retail, educational/ trade, and master planning developments. These years of experience gave me a passion for sustainable approaches to design, systems, materials, and construction as well as an interest in expressing materials and structural systems in an honest and straightforward way.

Outside of the office or construction site, I can be found exploring nature and enjoying a wide variety of outdoor activities such as hiking, mountain biking, skiing, overlanding, and paddle boarding. I’ve found that connecting with nature keeps me balanced and leaves me feeling refreshed. Travel has always been another passion of mine. Whether the destination is close to home or further afield, travel has given me the opportunity to experience cultures, practices, foods and architecture that differ from what I’ve typically known, broadening my perspective and opening my eyes to new possibilities.
