Ashley is originally from the midwest, but found herself in Utah just 2 short years ago. Since then, she has had the pleasure of working along side Dan, the founder of Carbon Architects, to design and build numerous projects.

She received her Masters Degree in Architecture from Kansas State University before working in Kansas City for two years. Ashley then had the unique opportunity to move to Northern Japan, where she spent much of her time exploring the designs of architects Tadao Ando and Kengo Kuma.

When asked what values drive Ashley, she responds: "Personally: dependability and honesty. Industrially: collaboration, and communication. I hope to do more with less, find sustainable alternatives, and create streamlined designs and processes that will better allow the art of architecture to survive any economic climate."
