About
I’m an architectural designer based in Lexington, Kentucky, pursuing my Master of Architecture and architectural licensure. I work full-time at McCoy Architects, where our small team gives me experience across nearly every stage of a project, from schematic design through completed construction documents.
Alongside my architectural work, I freelance with clients primarily in real estate, creating marketing floor plans, architectural renderings, and animations.
Outside architecture, I’m passionate about cars and own a 1999 BMW 328i convertible.
