The essence of my approach to design and building includes:
- Creative collaboration with clients by respecting and utilizing their tastes, styles, and needs.
- Adaptation to existing structures by incorporating and/or expanding elemental design features.
- Translating concepts, images, and client's needs into architectural themes.
- Transformation of wish lists into dream spaces.
- Use of color and texture is intrinsic to my designs.
While details are critical, my approach is oriented to the creation of functional, inviting, comfortable, and harmonious space.
Influences: Impressionism, the organicity and harmony of nature, union of function and form, simplicity and sensuality. I work with American design elements from Primitive to Arts and Crafts and Contemporary. I also incorporate old world charm and contemporary European style.
I appreciate the stress and disruption that the construction process creates in the lives of my clients. As a result, I employ organization, humor, and patience to minimize their impact.
I travel throughout the US and abroad to meet the design/remodeling needs of my clients.
