I walk a fine line between design and technical with an emphasis on the technical in my architectural practice. I continue to explore the connections between painting and architecture, visual perception of color in architectural form, and the symbolic intertwining of architecture and urban design. What fascinates me about ELS is that the practice provides opportunities in all aspects of design.
