Hi, I’m Zach - an architectural & urban designer from Knoxville, TN, with a passion for cities, technology, and the integration of research in practice.
I embrace the act of inquiry.
I believe people and process are at the root of what we do.
I pursue an integrated approach in each project through individualized study on a range of scales.
I graduated Summa Cum Laude from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville with my Bachelor of Architecture degree and a minor in Sustainability in May 2021.
