ABOUT
I am an architectural designer with a deep appreciation for the small details in a project that come together to create a thoughtful execution for a client’s needs both aesthetically pleasing and functionally sound. I challenge myself to reach closer to perfection with the design process while adapting to unique situations and eagerly rising to challenges and unorthodox solutions. I care about the finer details in a project.
Ihaveahistory ofskill with high-endresidential work andmaintainingpositive relationships with clients throughout the project to meet their demands while presenting designs that speak tothearchitecturalnarrative. Bluntly,I haveamindsetto, “Alwaystrysomethingnew and unique”.
I’m technologically savvy to quickly adapt to changing digital mediums and have often provenmyselfcapableofrapidlygraspingnewcomputer-aideddesigntoolsandprograms with proficiency.
Personally, I recently started a transition of becoming the best version of myself to live my life with confidence and passion for growth and change. I live without fear of judgment, and take criticism in stride. I am my own vibe.

BOTKA ADDITON
THE SEA RANCH, CA
This project features a garage and recreation room addition to an existing house with attached dog yard. A corrugated acrylic skylight wraps the entire structure allowing for light and rain protection. I was tasked early on in my architectural career to wholly produce a full set of construction documents and details while working directly with the head architect and provide occasional on-site construction administration.
CORRUGATED ACRYLIC ROOFING DETAILS
The corrugated acrylic system presented a challenge in detailing. The structural elements are offset so the finished redwood siding cleanly folds off the corners. This resulted in calculating angles for cuts, careful dimensioning of beams, providing custom flashing details, and working out geometry to provide a functional roof without aesthetic flaw.
This design challenge in my early professional career sparked an adoration for detail-oriented work. I continue to advocate for this quality of results by seeking out thoughtful solutions to design flubs.
FOUR SIDED PICNIC TABLE
The Botka Addition contains a custom built four sided picnic table designed to match The Sea Ranch’s barn style of construction. I was tasked with product design that was both functional and visually pleasing. I based this table design off of an existing simple rectangular picnic table, keeping the legs and structural elements similar but inter-crossing them and doubling the horizontal elements to keep the seats floating apart from each other. A small set of drawings with a detailed list of parts was sent internationally to be constructed and delivered on site, requiring logistical coordination and long-distance product review.

PEAY WINERY DRIVEWAY
CLOVERDALE, CA
Small commercial project phasing in a driveway and access stairs to future tasting salon addition of existing winery. The driveway arches around a future circular arena with a softly designed structure. I also was tasked with satisfying all the requirements to the city by procuring required detail drawings, obtaining a new lot easement, and providing construction administration early in my career.
