A nine-story, 159-unit building in Buckman, originally market-rate and converted to affordable (30% / 60% AMI) with 25 Permanent Supportive Housing units. Authored construction documents for unit layouts including ADA-compliant plans, code compliance, and the underground parking garage.

A dance club, lounge, and bar within the Watershed industrial arts collective, built with no outside investors and a four-point Danley sound system.

Historic renovation of Luther Hall, the 1949 former Concordia College chapel, into a hub for the Sports Product Design, Product Design, and Journalism programs. Three separate structural systems from different-era expansions were knit together; seismic scope removed unreinforced CMU in the chapel and replaced it with new metal framing for the Innovation Commons green-box stage.

A central event and studio space within the larger Innovation Building. Built in 1951 as the campus chapel and transformed into a flexible multi-use hub. Pivoting steel frames rotate to create intimate critique rooms or fold flat for large gatherings; original concrete walls, beams, and ceilings are preserved, and a stage with hidden storage supports multiple event configurations.

58-unit micro-housing under a federal HUD program - Japanese-style compact units ranging from 300 SF studios to 688 SF two-bedrooms.

Speculative mass timber office for Brooks Resources, the second CLT project in the Bend region. A 12-foot glulam post-and-beam grid carries CLT floor and roof decks and CLT shear walls, with custom lobby work including mass timber stair treads, an integrated entry bench, and detailed steel railings. The wood structure stores roughly 277 metric tons of CO2, and the design was carried forward to a second building on the campus.

The first substantial county building in Goldendale in 80+ years, organized around a "bookshelf" concept. Mass timber throughout - glulam beams and columns, CLT floor and roof decks on steel-stud bearing and shear walls - with a 40kW solar array and LED lighting. Led civic-department programming.

Office expansion on the 38th floor of DocuSign Tower, a returning-client engagement following the 47th-floor penthouse. The buildout balances hard-walled private offices with open, light-filled collaboration zones and focus rooms, coordinating MEP engineers, AV consultants, and furniture vendors. Mentored an intern through this engagement.

A 47th-floor penthouse executive suite in DocuSign Tower. A PNW regional palette - air travel, forestry, technology, and maritime themes with colors drawn from the Olympic Peninsula and Puget Sound views - balances hard-walled private offices with light-filled open environments, collaboration areas, and focus rooms.

Art installation at OMSI’s Green Circle for the Portland Winter Light Festival, built on the Pepper’s Ghost optical illusion. A multi-layered octahedron on a thin steel frame floats over concealed LED panels to produce a holographic 3D effect. Custom motion graphic content drove the hologram, and the connecting fasteners were 3D-printed in-house.

A branded headquarters tenant improvement that transformed a warren of small rooms into open-plan workspace. Blackened steel and solid ash, custom environmental graphics, glazed transom windows, and vertical glass relites.

A complete rebrand of the 1928 A.E. Doyle / Pietro Belluschi Public Service Building from "PSB" to "Power + Light," including a 2,000 SF roof terrace and a Type III Land Use Review for historic exterior modifications. Attracted major tenants including WeWork.

A ground-up multifamily building; supported design development, construction documents, and permitting documentation.

Ground-up 5-over-1 apartment building in Portland’s Overlook neighborhood. 90 units, with live-work units placed along the light rail frontage to activate the street edge.

A ground-up clinic supporting eight providers around an on-stage / off-stage workflow that separates patient-facing and staff circulation.

A two-story ambulatory surgery center and medical office building on a site inherited from an earlier land-use application with fixed parameters. The program splits across two floors (atypical for an ASC) due to site constraints, with an innovative sterile connecting stair and second-floor staff lockers that required jurisdictional approval for infection control. Biophilic, evidence-based design with windows in surgical suites and the owner’s art collection integrated.

A healthcare innovator’s corporate relocation to downtown Portland for 300+ employees, with zero enclosed offices, a lab for digital and physical prototyping, and a kitchen co-working space.

A neighborhood retail healthcare clinic, part of a multi-location rollout across Oregon and Washington. Each clinic centers on efficient Universal Care Rooms with branded elements - a signature lab sink "hearth" outside the UCRs and a "+" wall anchoring check-in - amid natural light and wood finishes.

A 19-unit apartment building in Sellwood, carried from concept through full permitting; stalled pre-construction on the client side.

The third-oldest building on campus (c. 1893, Whidden & Lewis, Jacobean style), now home to the School of Global Studies and Languages. A northeast annex addition with a contextual brick facade extends the building; unreinforced masonry receives significant seismic reinforcement including FRP. Led extensive user engagement with faculty, staff, UO leadership, and the dean.

A two-story comprehensive cancer center on the St. Charles Redmond campus - radiation, surgical, and medical oncology, integrative therapies, infusion, outpatient draw lab, and compounding pharmacy. Evidence-based, trauma-informed, and biophilic: a CLT main entry gallery with skylights and floor-to-ceiling glazing, and a second-floor infusion suite with exposed CLT and Cascade mountain views. TVA evaluated the master and business plans and helped select the site.

A 32,000-34,000-seat ballpark with a retractable roof. Supported master planning and finance packages in collaboration with lead design firm Populous.
