Miles, a Southern California native from San Diego, has been captivated by art and 3D design since childhood and developed a lifelong passion for nature. He graduated from Cal Poly SLO in 2022 with a Bachelor of Architecture, which only deepened his appreciation for the central coast and architectural design. After returning to San Diego for two years, he refined his design skills across a spectrum of projects, ranging from custom single-family homes to urban infill multi-family housing and larger-scale mixed-use developments. Miles enjoys the challenge of merging aesthetically pleasing style while also maintaining functionality and efficiency, all while prioritizing environmental responsibility and harmony with nature. His recent move to Santa Barbara has reignited his admiration for the area's unique architecture and stunning coastal landscapes. As he approaches architectural licensure, Miles also embraces a coastal lifestyle, by frequently exploring the outdoors through climbing, hiking, and surfing.
