Portland, OR

“Throughout my career I have focused on designing architecture that is extraordinary, endeavoring to deliver forms and spaces that are functional and exceptional, quietly practical and vociferously experiential. Executing on such a focus requires close collaboration with talented team members and the understanding that the design process is a continuous effort from concept design through construction administration.”

Leif brings more than 20 years of experience with a focus on master planning and creative design solutions for projects of a variety of sizes and scales. Leif is a detail-oriented project architect with a focus on positive communication and long-term thinking which he has demonstrated in his design work at the Portland Art Museum and multiple projects at Portland International Airport. Leif has both a Bachelor of Architecture and a Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy from California Polytechnic State University, and a Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design from Columbia University.
