I design the future with nature at its core — which is a fancy way of saying I make green stuff look amazing while saving the planet (no cape, though, sadly).As a Landscape Architect and LEED AP Homes, I specialize in crafting spaces that are sustainable, timeless, and occasionally get mistaken for magazine covers.My mission? To sneak nature into every home and neighborhood like some kind of eco-friendly ninja.I also build businesses that prove you can make money and hug trees at the same time—take that, capitalism.Inspired by people, I lead creative teams to greatness, because teamwork makes the dream work.Outside of work, you’ll find me geeking out over tech, lifting heavy things at the gym, or getting way too passionate about my coffee brewing techniques.If you want to make the world greener, healthier, and just a little cooler, let’s chat.I promise I’ll only make one bad plant pun. Maybe two.

My mom was an artist and my dad was a carpenter. I grew up helping them do hands-on remodeling work in our home, and discovered early on that I wanted to become an architect. I earned my Bachelor of Architecture at Cornell University, becoming a licensed architect at the unusually young age of twenty-six. After college and a year working in Boston, I drove across the country to join the LA architecture scene in 2002. For years, I’d dreamed of owning my own firm, a place where I could pursue meaningful projects and provide the kind of dedicated, personalized design experience you simply won’t find in a large corporate office. My early start led me to found Letter Four with Jeremy Baker, whose construction expertise was the perfect complement to my design skills. I now have more than 20 years of hands-on experience designing luxurious residences and commercial spaces in the greater LA area and across the country, including New York, Hawaii, Texas, DC, and San Francisco. As head of our architectural design team, I thrive on close collaboration with our team to solve our clients’ problems by pushing the boundaries of design, exploring new possibilities and finding unique yet practical solutions for homes and commercial buildings. Letter Four is a design-build partnership for visionary homeowners and business leaders in the greater Los Angeles area and beyond. Through thoughtful design, holistic guidance and meticulous construction, we create places and spaces that fit the shape of your life.
