As Principal Architect and Interior Designer at Redline Architecture, I’ve spent over two decades designing not only buildings, but experiences — spaces that serve people, celebrate culture, and strengthen communities.
A graduate of the University of Kansas School of Architecture & Urban Design, with studies in Paris and Rouen, I’ve worked across the I-35 corridor — from Kansas City to Dallas to Laredo — blending technical expertise with creative vision. My work spans public and private projects with a focus on cultural spaces, historic preservation, health and education, and sustainable design.
In 2018, I co-founded the Laredo Cultural District, and by 2021, we achieved official designation from the Texas Commission on the Arts. Since then, I’ve continued to champion place-based economic development, arts advocacy, and downtown revitalization, working hand-in-hand with nonprofits, city departments, and local artists.
Whether I’m designing a civic facility, restoring historic architecture, or helping shape policy for arts funding — I bring purpose, passion, and a deep belief in the transformative power of design.
