BSU Landscape Architecture

Department Chair

With a passion for both people and ecology, my work explores the common ground. It is in that space where I desire to create healthy and engaging environments through collaboration, education, and innovation. Possessing over twelve years of project management experience in the entertainment industry has provided me a robust skillset as well as honed my ability to manage large and complex projects while maintaining high team energy and morale. More than a designer, I am a creative problem solver who excels at bringing out the best in team members.

Profile

Experience

I possess over fifteen years of experience in theatrical scenery and exhibit production. The last twelve of which were executed as a project manager. I was responsible for providing our team with the resources and guidance necessary to ensure design-accurate fabrication and installation of high-quality scenery for a prestigious clientele.

Experience

My years of experience have afforded me a robust set of skills from which I am able to deploy effectively throughout the project delivery process. However, none is more valuable than the skill of active listening when interacting with the project site, project stakeholders, and team.

Vision/Genesis

Conceptual Design

Stories fascinate me. I enjoy discovering the connections between people and places through engaging with those who have stories to share. Great ideas emerge from these interactions.

Conceptual Design

My years of experience in theatrical design have granted me the ability to recognize the landscape as an integral character of the story. Careful analysis reveals a framework of character relationships.

Design Development

Examination of form, materiality, and composition is crucial to refining the landscape's character. Paying close attention to the details produces unique designs aligned with the vision.

Construction Documents

Construction Observation

Having spent twenty years interpreting and producing construction drawings, I have exceptional familiarity with the document form and graphic standards.
