I believe a home should provide a simple, living environment – thoughtfully crafted with quality materials .

As an architectural designer, I am inspired by a comment I once received: “thoughtfully crafted”. By creating a working environment that acknowledges plans are limited to the understanding of those interpreting them is the shortcut to creativity. The ability to change direction allows the “cream to rise” and the results are recognized as unique and as individual as the owner, the designer’s vision and the patience and understanding of a good construction team.

I take pride in my vision regarding human scale, material selection and function. My plans provide what is necessary to create the image, obtain a working budget and permits. Detailed drawings are created as needed, appropriately priced to serve clients well through the building process. My experience in building aids me when communicating design intent with the builder.

If you would like to discuss an idea you have for a home, a unique space or a project that needs a design perspective – I’d love to meet with you.
