Start To Finish
Committed to simplifying the process, I’ve opened up my design service to provide a singular vision which includes the exterior home + interiors integrated to eliminate overlapping services and provide a bolder approach. This method simplifies the conversation tailored directly around your needs. I love being there with you throughout the entire process. The process is streamlined because I am there from the beginning to the end, interacting and helping you make sound decisions as well as coordinate with consultants and contractors.
I have extensive and the same support as a large company at my disposal. The capacity of the project does not limit me, due to my resources. I only take on a few projects at one time which is my secret to doing things right. I believe this approach produces results that my clients and I can be proud of. Your privacy is always held at highest regard.
The Process
The design process is an intimate, rigorous yet guided journey and a collaboration between you and I.
The process starts with your site’s location which determines the capabilities of what is possible. The approval process will vary depending on how many jurisdictions and review processes are required. There are rare sites which are more difficult than others involving multiple city approvals, Coastal Commission, HOAs, and sometimes more.
The reasons behind my decisions are not a secret. I love nature and it’s materials and respect maintaining the balance for the future.
Documenting thoughts during the process eventually translates into the concepts of the design. Upon visiting the site, typically alone, feelings speak to me and I allow the delicate to have voice, either translated into a personal writing, poem, sketch and even a painting.
Bio
I was born in Laguna Beach, California in 1973. I graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture from CALPOLY SLO and I DESIGN custom HOMES.
“I love homes and the natural environment. Together in balance, sacred personal spaces form memories inspiring generations. A home touches our heart. Homes are spaces of ritual; celebrating nature, structure, technology, time and space, in both solitude & communally. You can also think of a home as series of personal events coordinated with time of day, modulated seasons of life; sleep/wake, bathe, eat, entertain, relax, learn, evolve & love.”
