About 

    I am a Registered Architect and member of the American Institute of Architects, registered in both, New York and Connecticut. I have been practicing architecture for over twenty years. 

    My expertise is in the renovation and alteration of single family, high-end residential homes. Working primarily in Connecticut and New York, I have developed a diverse design vernacular that I apply to the design of period-sensitive and contemporary homes, alike. With over ten years of practice with noted Greenwich, CT interior designer, Connie Beale, I further broadened my architectural range with the design of custom architectural millwork, including built-in cabinetry, custom kitchens, and furniture for a discerning New England clientele.

    I graduated with a Bachelor of Architecture degree from Syracuse University. I began my career with the architectural interiors firm of H.M. Keiser & Associates (HMK), in New York City, designing and developing construction documents for major Law Firms and corporate tenant spaces. I have also worked for various New York City firms specializing in commercial and institutional projects in the public sector, as well as various hospitality projects, including Loews Hotel, on Park Avenue, and the restoration of the Campbell Apartment restaurant, in Grand Central Terminal, NYC.

    I subscribe to the philosophy that the home belongs to the client, not the architect. I aspire to help guide the client to create a space that is elegant, functional, and comfortable. My efforts are dedicated towards a design philosophy that accommodates both, the client’s personality and individual needs without sacrificing the aesthetic character of the home. I do not advocate a specific architectural “style”, but rather employ a design aesthetic that evolves from understanding the individual. This has afforded me the opportunity to explore numerous architectural styles, from period-sensitive, traditional home design, to designs that are more contemporary and interpretive. Whatever the wishes of my clients, I am versed in the vernacular necessary to fulfill their goals. By including the homeowner in this process, the culmination becomes greater than the sum of its parts.
