Design Philosophy

By choice, I have kept  my business as a small design studio, allowing my role with my clients to be that of a designer/partner. I only take a small number of projects at a time so I can give undivided attention to each design on the drawing board. This allows me to work with my clients on a personal level, listen and understand their specific needs and stylistic preferences.

I am a strong believers in working closely with both clients and their project team and builders from the very beginning of the project to the end. Not only does this ensure a smooth and pleasant experience but also beautiful and functional spaces that my clients are proud to call their own.

Decades of hands-on experience both in reputable architectural design firms and construction field has allowed me to gain a deep understanding of the needs of both fields. I have developed a successful process in my work that allows the project team to foresee and carefully consider all project needs early in the design and planning and construction phase. I pay special attention to all critical aspects as well as artistic elements of good design such as scale, form, function, and proportion, as well as the psychological effects of natural and artificial lighting, color, and texture.  My conceptual design packages are highly comprehensive and easy to understand for which I continually receive praise for by both my clients and their builders.
