Designer
Skye is an early-career addition to the MSR Design team. Having focused on materials sustainability research at the University of Minnesota, they believe that the AEC industry should bring ecological sensitivity to all projects. Skye also believes truly good design can only happen with a comprehensive understanding of how every building element fits together. They prioritize simple, honest expressions of structure and materiality in their work and have a keen interest in integrating the needs of ecosystems and nonhuman occupants into the design process. Skye finds inspiration in the immediacy of hand drawing and physical model making, recognizing that these techniques help clarify complex design ideas for broader audiences. They grew up in Haines, Alaska, a thriving arts community where a strong DIY home-building culture led to their early interest in architecture. Outside the studio, Skye spends their time sketching, birding, compiling late-night alternative shows for their hometown radio station, and exploring the Twin Cities live music scene.
Design is everywhere! I get to spend every day learning more about how the world around me works. It makes everything more interesting.
