I built a dining room table during my final year of graduate school. It is made from 100+ year old Douglas Fir that Troy Sausen reclaimed from a barn in southwestern Minnesota. I built the table top and Troy milled the legs and apron.

I participated in a month-long drawing workshop in Istanbul, Turkey during May and June, 2010. I explored many new types of drawing tools, methods and mediums.

I bought my first camera the same year I began studying architecture. The two have never been separated for me. My Master Final Project explored one of the many intersections between photography and architecture.
