    Achievements

    Since completing a graduate degree in architecture, I have launched, maintained and (in some cases) sold a series of successful digital properties, overseeing thousands of published articles and hundreds of millions of total visitors.

    I have also participated on panels and given presentations related to web publishing, architecture, design and ubranism in New York, Boulder, Minneapolis, the Highlands of Scotland and elsewhere. I am also functionally fluent in German, having lived in Germany multiple times over the years.
