I have worked as an architect in Boston, San Francisco and the countries of South Africa, Lesotho and England. Other professions have included carpentry and general contracting, a surveyor for a medieval cathedral in the south of France, graphic artist and commissioned architectural photographer. Green, or environmentally friendly design, has been my focus since the early 90’s. |
