Design Approach
I want to empower you to engage in every aspect of designing your home and help your
whole project proceed with the least stress possible. 

Here's how I do that...

Custom Architectural Design

If you are like most people, you likely have never hired an  
architect before.  You may not know exactly what to expect from  
a design process.  You may be unclear what questions to ask to  
be sure that you are working with someone who can understand  
and deliver your vision.

That's why I created a design process with tons of  
personalized tools just for you.

I want you to understand everything.  And I want you to feel  
empowered to make informed decisions throughout the design  
and construction of your home.  From the flow of space to exact  
room sizing to what type of appliances you buy.  You  
understand why your home is designed the way it  
is...because you helped shape it.

You have support every step of the way!

My goal is that you feel involved and supported throughout the design and

 

construction of your home. 

That's why I have developed a uniquely collaborative design process  
with tons of support tools to help you make decisions...without getting an architecture degree.  Every  
decision is supported with data, comparisons, cost implications, and more, so that you can make  
informed decisions every step of the way.  I also provide hands-on teaching that empowers you to  
participate meaningfully during construction.
