I am a seasoned designer and motivated self-starter. I have been fortunate to work on some amazing projects in the Southern California area. I've worked on a wide variety of designs that range from Open Space Planning to Contemporary Car washes that have the car become part of the design of the building. Yes, that was truly a one of a kind project.
I've also enjoyed supervising the construction of many of these designs. Some of the projects of note have been a luxury home on the cliffs of La Jolla, a boutique movie theater in Westwood Village, and a unique wedding garden at a private hotel in North Hollywood. I am more than willing to pitch in on all levels in order to see my design come to life.
Outside of work you might find me on my favorite biking or hiking trail, volunteering my time as a member of the Tournament of Roses, or grabbing a cup of coffee at my local coffee shop.
