I have lived in the PNW my entire life and have a deep love of the architectural style that makes up this area. I think of architecture not as a single practice, but as several interlocking ones. Landscapes are inseparable from structures, ecology is inseparable from building requirements, and improving human relationships is the ultimate goal of any project. Aesthetic movements come and go, but I have found these principles to be timeless.

I take a collaborative approach to working with my clients. It is important that I spend time to understand your needs and ideas. I also use a flat rate design model that allows my clients to have the ability to request changes until they are completely happy with the finished product.

As a business, I strive for honesty and clarity. My first job is to understand the client’s vision and needs, not to present my own. I value timeliness, direct communication and prototypes over presentations, as well as the occasional face-to-face meeting over a drink or a meal.
