You could say my passion for architecture was in the design from the beginning. My dad was an artist and technical drafter and my uncles were engineers, builders and tradesman. Growing up, I loved walking through houses under construction and observing the science of a well-built home.

My design career began in 1993 in Southern California. I grew up in the Eastern Sierra with extremes of 10’ of snow in the winter to 100° days in the summer. From a young age, I knew that intelligent home design was the difference between comfort and misery.

Today, I love creating functional homes for my clients–providing them solutions to problems they’ve endured in other homes that were accepted as normal. I start with the perfect floorplan that compliments their lifestyle, then we get to work planning the exterior of their dream home. I believe custom home design is about getting exactly what you want–from aesthetics to livability. Putting my clients’ dream to paper and watching it come alive is a constant source of joy and motivation.
