Architectural Services

Quick, technologically savvy, and communicative.

Q&As

It's a natural extension of all my interests; people and places, their character and aspirations. Creating is satisfying, whether a drawing or a building. It's always on, some challenges, concepts or details, are resolved far from the desk.

In the latter years of being employed I had become a manager. Having my own business means it's all hands-on; from design to documentation to being on site. That was my vision of who I wanted to be when I started in the profession.

I offer comprehensive services, but what may make me a good choice is communications. It's important that all parties, especially the client understand the nature of the design before it goes to construction, so various high quality varieties of visualization are available depending on the nature of the work.

Much of our work is graphic and can be shared as documents such as PDF. Virtual meetings are very effective. Some face to face discussions are valuable, Construction progress reviews may be essential.

Almost universal video technology has allowed us to lean in to virtual meetings
