As self-declared Artists in Residence for the US Government, theInstitute for Wishful Thinking (IWT) believes that the community of artists and designers possesses untapped creative and conceptual resources that could be applied to solving social problems. - IWT homepage

Other work IWT Competition - Re-imagined Legacy My proposal examines concrete blast walls,known as t-walls, as the physical manifestation of a political situation, and therefore able to reflect political change by the nature of their reuse.

Outside of academic and professional work I enjoy print-making, mixed media collage, and competitions.

From half acre master plans to detailed construction documentation and BAR hearings, we have satisfied the needs of our clients and completed five projects to date.

Yardcraft continues to be a creative outlet and anexperience builder. It has allowed me to explore apersonal interest while developing skills such as cost-estimating, client relations, writing project scopes and proposals for design work as well as invoicing and business management.

Our mission is to design beautiful, edible, residential landscapes; aesthetically incorporating sustainable food production into urban and suburban communities.
