Your Trusted Architect in Healdsburg, CA
I am a licensed architect in California since 1992, dedicated to creating functional and people-oriented spaces. My practice emphasizes collaboration, allowing each project's unique needs and site conditions to shape the design process. With over 100 completed projects, including custom residences, wineries, and commercial buildings, I prioritize community engagement and sustainable design principles. My experience includes advocacy for Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) to address housing needs and affordability. I hold a Bachelor of Architecture and a Bachelor of Science in Construction Management from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, with international study in Denmark influencing my design philosophy.My work integrates local context, climate, and resources to deliver tailored solutions. I have served on the Healdsburg Planning Commission and Airport Commission, demonstrating commitment to civic improvement. Collaborating with builders early in the design process ensures budget alignment and construction efficiency. My portfolio spans residential, commercial, and institutional projects across Northern California. This approach combines technical expertise with a deep understanding of client needs to create enduring, impactful spaces.
