AJA Studio, PC: Before moving to Colorado, I traveled the United States working with Architects & Interior Designers in Atlanta, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Martha's Vineyard, & New Haven, studying the designs of each region.

With Architecture degrees from Yale University + the University of Cincinnati, I traveled the US working under the name of Nomad Design before moving to Colorado in January 1994. The following year I designed and built my father's home with him in Grand Junction.

After gaining valuable experience working with a few good design firms in the Vail Valley with projects ranging from affordable housing to high-end residences, I opened my first office, AJA Mountain Studio, Edwards, Colorado in 2001, AJA City Studio, Denver, Colorado in 2007, and AJA Coastal Studio, Gig Harbor, Washington in 2018.
