Brad did a great job for us. We hired Brad to do partial home remodel and also design a larger extension off the back of our home. Brads designs were creative and strong and his construction drawings had meticulous detail. His recommendations were all on point. We also enjoyed his calm demeanor. We look forward to working with Brad again.

Brad was an absolute joy to work with! He not only did an incredible job with the architectural drawings for our remodel project, but he was constantly there for us any time we had questions. I would absolutely hire him again on any future projects I have.

Brad has been extremely responsive and patient with us- he needed to be! Our project has had fits and starts and he has hung in there with us for two years (I don't recommend you doing this.) Can't wait to get the project done! I hear from the contractors we have spoken to that they like working with Brad because they know the plans will be detailed and accurate.

Can't say enough positive things about Brad. We interviewed several architects and after meeting Brad It was immediately clear to us that he was who we wanted to work with. We had a vision for a few remodeling projects and he was able to pull our ideas together to create a plan and design that we are thrilled with. He is professional, creative, and responsive. He provided us with thoughtful feedback throughout the process and continues to make himself available to address our questions and/or concerns. We are so appreciative for his guidance and would highly recommend his services to others.
