About
My Background
My Background
My Background
Although I officially retired from full time work (fall of 2021) after a successful 42 year design career, I still occasionally offer my design expertise to select clients. I consider myself extremely lucky to have had a "full-time job" that I truly loved...and I still LOVE!
My Philosophy
My Background
My Background
My goal is to offer clients 'front end' design services for custom homes & interior renovations. This refers to the purely creative side of architectural design, the creation of an original concept plan showing the relationship between spaces, circulation, custom features & external appearance (primary elevation if applicable)...in other words, "how it works, looks & feels!"
My Mission
My Background
My Mission
By actively listening & posing the right questions, I discover my client’s needs as well as their dreams then how to bring them together in their new home or renovation. The goal is to design spaces that reflect your personality, style, taste, and preferences, remaining mindful of the project’s specific design requirements and the way you will live each day in these new spaces.
