Work Philosophy

I function as a weaver does, blending the history and needs of a local parish with the wisdom of the larger Church, through its tradition and liturgical practice. These threads combine with the vision of the congregation and the expertise of designers, artists, and artisans. I hold all these components in proper tension, so that the results are a beautiful and functional sacred space, ready to serve the liturgy. This unique tapestry is complete when the project is not simply a new or renovated building, but an enlivened people of God.
