Report
I have hired Kevin to be my architect for a ground up residential development. Kevin is fantastic at architecture and has added value in many other ways. He is very knowledgeable in local government processes and has been eager to share what he knows with me at every step of the way. I am truly grateful that I was put in touch with him and won't hesitate to work with him in the future. I have already recommended him to friends and would highly recommend him to anyone that needs help with building design and all of the things that go into getting a building built.

Report
In 2015 we moved into a new office in Playa Vista that would not exist without the vision and talent of Kevin and his team. We took over a vacant structure that was previously a produce market and then set Kevin and his team lose to create a unique and comfortable office and studio space. At every step of the way, Kevin was highly communicative and connected to us, immersing us in the design process and being incredibly proactive with progress meetings. Inevitably there were unanticipated issues that came up during the course of design and construction, but in each instance, Kevin was 100% on top
