One of our main goals in architecture is to provide our clients and community with thoughtful and meaningful designs to meet their unique needs. And Aptus puts forward every effort towards meeting that goal, but it's the means and methods that I witness and partake in that ignite joy within. We are a collective of forward-thinking, multi-talented individuals collaborating across multiple generations, learning and growing together throughout our processes. Which continues to strengthen our core foundation everyday, transforming spaces into places for everyone to enjoy.

I chose architecture to design buildings, but I continue to choose architecture now to help improve the quality of life for people through the development of spaces. As a tool to help create positive change and memorable transformative experiences for the users and the surrounding environment.

Modernism. I enjoy how the architects of that time went against the norm and in turn developed manifestos that continue to live on far beyond their time here on earth. i.e. Le Corbusier and the 5 points of architecture. I believe it to be a sustainable foundation that I often find myself returning to when working through design scenarios.

Optimism, music, and meaningful connections with others. There are endless possibilities with all three of them and something to look forward to.

Making art, near water (a beach, pool, or spring), with family and friends, or exploring the world and being adventurous.
