I began teaching at the University of San Francisco’s Architecture program in the fall of 2022, and since then have been rediscovering what I love about architecture and its unique challenge of designing the 3-dimensional spaces we live in every day. As I watch students develop themselves and grow, I realize how broad the field is, how many different kinds of people find their way into it and how many different ways there are to work as an architect.

How we experience spaces as human beings has a tremendous impact on how we feel and on our overall well-being. What kind of quality might we create through the intentional design of space? How can we design the light in a space to serve a specific purpose?

Studio 2, taught in the Spring, is all about creating space and designing with light and movement in mind. In the Fall I teach Studio 3, which is concerned with Materials and Methods of construction.
