Hailing from the mountain valley of Bozeman, MT, a strong sense of place has always been a part of my understanding of the world. Traveling and engaging with different cities and cultures has fueled this passion for understanding context and has led to a burgeoning appreciation of the beauty of the prairie while studying at North Dakota State University.
The world is constantly being re-imagined; a story is always being told. Whether presented in music, art, or film, I desire to uncover the narrative being written by people and communities. Somewhere between reason and emotion, stories are expressed most honestly. In that space between function and beauty, I find architecture.
