About Me

Rooted in Craft. Driven by Design.

Architecture has been my lifelong pursuit.


I grew up on job sites, picking up scraps and watching my father build homes from the ground up. Before I was a teenager, I earned my first paycheck framing houses alongside his crew.

Over the years, I worked across multiple trades, learning the rhythm of construction, the value of precision, and the pride behind every finished structure. That hands-on foundation shapes how I approach design today.

 

Since 1996, I’ve immersed myself in architecture, studying both nationally and internationally, sharpening technical expertise, and crafting spaces that are beautiful, purposeful, and practical.

Experience includes:

  • Site planning & urban infill

  • Residential design: From modest additions to high-end custom homes

  • Multi-family & Affordable housing

  • Commercial tenant improvements, hospitality, and mixed-use developments

 

With over 30 years in construction and architecture, our team blends technical expertise, creative vision, and practical know-how. From rough concept to refined completion, we guide with precision, empathy, and respect.

 

Let’s build something meaningful together…

Core Values

Every spark of an idea carries potential.

 

Every detail defines the outcome.

We build trust through:

  • Honesty at every stage

  • Thoughtful communication with clients and collaborators

  • Dedication to craft that turns dreams into reality

Commitment

Excellence isn’t a goal, it’s our standard.

From the first concept to the final walkthrough, we deliver with:

  • Precision

  • Transparency

  • Care

 

We align budgets, maintain schedules, and keep communication open, ensuring a seamless, stress-free experience that reflects your vision.

Design

Design is where ideas, find form.

Every project begins with a spark, a sketch, or an ink splat of inspiration. That splat is raw, imperfect, and full of potential. It is your idea brought to life.

How we bring ideas to life:

• Historical research & contextual analysis
• Navigation of zoning laws & development standards
• Agency coordination & entitlement planning

From that first splash, we set drawing points, our milestones, guiding your vision from loose concept to intentional design.

Design Drawing Points:

• Pre-Design (Programming): Site analysis & regulations
• Schematic Design: Concept exploration & layouts
• Design Development: Material selection & system integration
• Construction Documents: Full coordination with engineers & consultants

The result? Visionary, viable, and fully compliant design.

Permit

Permitting is where ideas gain assurance.

Like an ink splat branching across a page, every permit submission spreads into a network of reviews: zoning, structural, mechanical, electrical, fire, safety, and energy.

 

We simplify the process by:

  • Tracking every review

  • Keeping you informed

  • Anticipating the next steps

 

Common fees may include:

  • Processing & review

  • School impact

  • Septic & sewer

  • Parks

  • Right-of-Way

  • Traffic mitigation

 

With us, permitting becomes a pathway, not an obstacle.

Construct

Construction is where ideas find structure.

When construction begins, it is the ink splat hitting the paper, dynamic, powerful, and full of energy. It’s a balance of controlled execution and natural growth.

We act as your advocate and coordinator, guiding trades so you can focus on the vision. Beyond traditional bids, we help manage:

  • Trade Coordination

  • Grading

  • Soil erosion

  • Septic & sewer systems

  • Wells, pumps & water meters

  • Solar integration

  • Driveway construction

 

Construction Drawing Points include:

  • Site Work: Preparation & foundations

  • Rough Framing: Structural framework

  • Exterior Construction: Envelope & finishes

  • MEP Systems: Mechanical, electrical, plumbing

  • Finishing: Interior details & final touches

 

Construction is where intent meets matter. It is energy, guided by design, steadied by process, and built by hand.
