Shawn discovered an interest in architecture at a young age and has been pursuing it ever since. Between his master’s and bachelor’s degree he worked at a variety of places in hopes to develop a holistic approach to architecture. Moving forward he is interested in creating architecture that can be sustainable, highly accessible and deeply experiential. During his work, Shawn came to recognize the importance in designing building while considering their entire life cycle. Outside of his interest in architecture, Shawn also is a dungeon master for a long standing group.
