I’m a space habitat designer working to support a permanent human presence in space.

My breadth of experience spans three fields with capabilities ranging from campaign strategy to designing destination high-rises to landing a new generation of astronauts on the moon. Working with nearly a decade of experience in architecture, expertise in digital workflows, a background in policy and management, and a practical grounding in space systems engineering, I am uniquely positioned to leverage the value of design to deliver value within the aerospace industry.

After working on Orbital Reef ECLSS for a year as the ventilation system responsible engineer, and a brief stint developing architectural concepts for the Core module, I am currently a Systems Engineer for Blue Moon MK2 Crew Lander at Blue Origin.

I'm a graduate of the CU Boulder aerospace engineering graduate program in bioastronautics, the University of Oregon College of Design’s graduate architecture program, and the University of Minnesota’s Humphrey School of Public Affairs. I’m also a member of the AIAA Space Architecture Technical Committee and co-chair of the International Conference for Environmental Systems Session 502: Space Architecture.
