Office for Architecture + Design

Since 1998, I have been very fortunate to work with, and be mentored by, award winning architects, builders, and skilled trades people producing site responsive, sustainable, timeless projects. It is enriching to engage in collaborative, high paced, triple bottom line endeavors, while guiding, leading, and educating clients about the built environment. By serving a fiduciary responsibility to the client, I have worked closely with teams of commercial developers, land owners, community stake holders, product designers, and growing families on a wide spectrum of projects: large, institutional, multi-year phased, to temporal, trade-show product installations, to custom single-family residences (speculative and time-sensitive). I have learned the importance of pro-forma scrutiny and ROI resolve, providing master plan and feasibility studies for the potential buyers of both commercial or residential properties, completing both: custom ground-up commercial and residential projects. For the community stake holder, I have provided pro-bono consultation, driven community design standard guidelines as well as acted as a community design liaison to developers. I am comfortable negotiating the necessary building and zoning codes shaping the design restraints of a project. I am adept at fostering the client's vision to reality by means of time proven methods as well as emerging practices: free-hand sketching, physical, scaled models, 1:1 mock-up detailed assemblies (resins, concrete, wood, steel, etc.), and digital visualizations (on-screen or in virtual reality). It is extremely gratifying to be part of a team structure, to work side by side, to create a singular, built vision.
