A DC area native, Patrick received his Bachelor of Architecture from Virginia Tech in 2021. After graduating from Gonzaga College High School in Washington, DC, where Patrick was a member of the Crew team. Patrick studied Computer Science at Virginia Tech for three years before leaving school to join the workforce to learn new skills as a boat mechanic working on direct-current, multi-battery electric motor applications as well as other marine electronics repairs and installations.
Upon returning to Virginia Tech to pursue a professional degree in architecture, Patrick fell in love with architectural design, drawn to the intense problem-solving and multi-disciplinary environment, as well as the fact that it results in an end product being built in the physical world. In the Summer of 2019, Patrick attended the Virginia Tech College of Architecture and Urban Studies’ “Europe Travel Program”, a semester-long study abroad program visiting 26 cities in Europe, emphasizing documentation of elements of the physical environment, which ranged in scale from single objects to buildings, to the analysis of cities. This once-in-a-lifetime experience cemented his love of architecture and the built environment.
Fun Fact: Patrick and his wife Jennifer are animal lovers and have two dogs and two cats!

Interior Design
With a foundation in art conservation and a passion for interior design, I bring a unique blend of artistic sensitivity and technical expertise to every project. My professional journey has been guided by a deep appreciation for cultural heritage, an eye for detail, and a commitment to creating harmonious spaces that celebrate both history and innovation.
From conserving priceless artworks to curating interiors that tell a story, I see design as a bridge between the past and the present, one that honors tradition while embracing contemporary expression.
As an art conservator working in the field of architecture, my passion lies in the intersection of creativity, culture, and craftsmanship. With years of hands-on experience in material preservation, I bring a deep understanding of wood, pigments, color theory, and natural materials to every design project. My work reflects a balance between historical authenticity and contemporary expression.
A lifelong lover of nature, I believe that the most inspiring designs often reflect the organic balance and beauty found in the natural world. My creative vision is deeply rooted in nature’s organic forms, from the fluid lines of leaves to the textured grain of aged wood. I draw endless inspiration from the subtle patterns, tones, and shapes found in the natural world, translating them into interiors and curated spaces that feel both timeless and alive.
Beyond the studio, I am an avid reader, a skilled gilder, cultural enthusiast and traveler, which constantly expands my perspective and fuels my curiosity for different cultures, materials, and artistic traditions. I am continuously exploring how traditions, stories, and objects from around the world can inform and enrich spatial experiences.
Whether selecting pigments with historical accuracy or incorporating handcrafted materials that carry cultural significance, I strive to create designs that are deeply personal and profoundly connected to their environment.
Working in Eustilus architecture allows me to collaborate across disciplines, merging my expertise in decorative arts, color, and materials with architectural vision to bring spaces to life with meaning, beauty, and lasting impact. Also allows me to merge my interests in design, contributing to spaces that are not only visually compelling but also rich in meaning and context.Fun fact: Loves coffee, camping trips, libraries and museums. Enjoys gilding, snorkeling, traveling and doing puzzles.
