Professional & Research Context

My work sits at the intersection of architecture, housing, applied research, and creative inquiry, with a sustained focus on how homes are designed, inhabited, assessed, and stewarded over time—particularly in contexts shaped by disruption, climate stress, or social vulnerability.As a trained architect, I have worked across architectural practice, residential assessment, and housing systems analysis. My experience includes design, inspection-informed evaluation, and applied work in post-disaster and climate-affected contexts, where questions of safety, continuity, and long-term performance are central.Alongside professional practice, my work is informed by academic research and teaching. I am affiliated with the University of Ottawa, contributing to applied and interdisciplinary inquiry related to housing, social innovation, and community-based practice. My research interests include housing after disaster, vernacular and lived-in architecture, stewardship and maintenance models, and the ethical dimensions of care, responsibility, and repair in the built environment.I also hold formal training in residential inspection and housing assessment. This field-based grounding anchors my work in the lived realities of buildings as they age, adapt, and are used by households over time, informing both research and practice with practical, evidence-informed insight.Across all contexts, my approach emphasizes careful observation, clarity of scope, and restraint in intervention. I value work that is ethically grounded, attentive to long-term outcomes, and responsive to the relationships between people, place, and built form—recognizing housing not only as a technical artifact, but as a lived system shaped by time and care.Across my work, I am currently developing an integrated practice that brings together housing diagnostics, ecological awareness, and relational care, focused on helping people understand and respond to housing conditions before they become crises.This page is intended to establish professional and research context.
