The first day
of architectural drafting class as a freshman in high school I knew I wanted
to be an architect.
During my college years I learned from great professors as well as
summer jobs where I was able to work under the supervision of architects
from downtown Paterson, N.J. to M.I.T. and Harvard Medical School
Planning departments as well as architectural firms in Boston.
When I came to
Minnesota I worked for several large and small firms… until I finally
realized that designing custom homes was my passion. That’s when I
began my own Residential Architectural practice.
Since then
I’ve focused exclusively on Residential Architecture (mostly custom homes but
also townhomes and a condominium in Orono).
I work directly with both individual clients and builders. I have
learned from school and work, builders and clients how to
create a great home and keep it in budget.

My greatest
strength is my ability to really hear what you have to say and
translate that creatively to paper knowing each choice has both a dollar value and beauty value attached
to it.
It’s in that wonderful balance real homes are made.
I am someone
who both connects with the people the home is for, and with the home
itself.
I also know what builders and city building departments need as far as
the blueprints go. I have worked with numerous cities from Big Lake, to
Lakeville, to Victoria and all cities in between. (And from Duluth to Colorado
to California, but that’s another
story).
I love what I
do and I love doing it with people who have a passion for building a
home.
