I started Adjacent Architecture to bring thoughtful design to the community, in the places and spaces we call home - where we work, eat, play and meet with our loved ones. I’m a licensed architect in California, and have a decade of experience designing residential, commercial, civic, workplace, and educational spaces throughout Southern California. I’m passionate about creating simple, beautiful details that complete the vision of my clients and help achieve their long term goals for each space. Whether it’s permitting, schematic design, space planning, entitlement or material selection, I’m dedicated to implementing projects that achieve your needs and goals.

In my volunteer efforts, I enjoy learning about advocacy and diverse representation in the architecture community, and have served as Chair of the AIA San Diego’s Women in Architecture committee. Always searching for further ways to support women and minorities in the design industry and beyond.

If you have a design project in mind, and aren’t sure where to start - let’s talk!
