Since moving to Bend in 2005 I have worked on a wide range of project types, starting as a drafter and working my way up to Principal. That foundation of experience and personal drive toward high quality work is the motivation for starting KSA. Like a good building, working with an architect should be stable, dependable, good way finding (communication), and enhancing the human experience. Use the contact section below to connect with me.
Excellent design creates functional, attractive buildings that stand the test of time because people want to keep using them. Great design is not a style or an aspiration for mass-appeal, but rather a composition of function, proportion, light, color, and texture that enhance the human experience. Every great design must be follow by construction documents which are clear, concise, correct, and complete; and by construction administration where the design and construction team collaborate and advocate for the best possible outcome.
We are all connected, sharing resources, sharing space, and our cumulative choices have a global effect. Every project has an opportunity, at minimum, to reduce or eliminate negative impacts on the environment and building users, or to go farther, and have a positive impact. Every client and project is unique and I will work with you to meet your project goals while using the AIA Material Pledge as a guide. Respecting cost considerations and the greater good are not exclusive of each other.
