I didn't know it at the time, but even as a child I started practicing residential design. For fun, my parents would drive around neighborhoods looking at houses, and built a couple homes from their own plans. I didn't complain (much) and loved the creative process of developing the designs until everything was just right.
I have since earned a degree in Architecture and am happy to make your hopes and dreams a reality.
I value:
- Smart design: Rather than replicating the past or defaulting to convention I believe in a transformation that fits; fits your values, fits your lifestyle, and even feeds your soul. Aesthetic style is just one consideration within the project whole but good design solves problems in a beautiful way.
- Family interaction: I believe in accommodating for children's spaces and parent's spaces in proximity to one another to encourage interaction.
- Efficient use of space: Often more space is not the answer, and will only become unnecessarily filled. Smarter space is not only a better solution but is a joy to live in.
- Healthy and Energy-efficient physical environment: New scientific information concludes that indoor air quality in many homes is two to 10 times worse than air quality outside the home! I want to change that statistic. "Industry standards" are just not good enough. I want to make your home beautiful AND safe.
- "A Place for Everything...and Everything in its Place": A "one-size-fits-all" solution will leave you adjusting your life to fit your space. The better solution is your space fitting your life.
