What makes me proud to work at Outlier is the direct impact we have on Chico. We are not just located here–we are actively helping shape it into a more beautiful, innovative, and progressive community. As someone who has loved this town deeply, and has lived here for the past 14 years, contributing to its growth through intentional and thoughtful design is incredibly rewarding to me. The office environment is also unlike any other– it is warm, inviting, and connects us to many facets of the Chico community. I’m grateful and proud to come to work every day.

I moved here from the Seattle area because I wanted to work on projects that actually matter to a community—not just buildings, but places people gather, create, and connect. That's exactly what we do. Whether it's the Chico Bike Park, Second Cousin Art Gallery, or the Collier Theatre, I get to help make sure what's on paper becomes what's on the ground. I won't pretend I don't miss things about where I came from—but the work here is the kind you don't find everywhere, and the team makes it worth it. It's tight-knit, the projects are weird (in the best way), and there's real mentorship—not just 'figure it out yourself' energy. If you want to do meaningful work with good people, this is the spot.

Outlier began with an invitation to come create some kick-ass places in Chico, alongside some of my favorite people in the world. Places that provide our community with joy, connection, and pride. “What does Chico look like at its absolute best?” That vision has been refined into prettier words over the years, but it remains at the core of what we do. As the vision has grown, our team has grown along with it. I’m humbled by the opportunity to have a small role in this grand vision, and truly grateful for our team!
