Why am i an architectural designer?

Because I love it! From putting pencil to paper to creating designs to turning them into 3D renderings to overseeing construction to the ribbon-cutting ceremony (just kidding) - it’s all thrilling and fulfilling and rewarding … especially if the client is happy with the results. It’s just what I love to do!

Design Cred

Acted as the General Contractor for the renovation and 600 SF addition to my own home.

Before - I bought the WORST house on the block. What was I thinking? A 750 SF two bedroom - one bath house.

After - I kept most of the existing window and door openings on the first floor, extended the house another 10 feet at the back and blew off the roof to add two more bedrooms and a full bath. It’s been a great home!

My design service experience runs the gamut, from million dollar additions and renovations to decks, front porches, screened porches, kitchens, master suites, bathrooms, mudrooms, laundry rooms, nanny suites and basements. I’ve been doing this for over 18 years, with no plans to retire in the near future. References available, of course!
