As an Architect, my role is to provide overarching guidance and decision-making to support the best interest of my clients. Additionally, I am responsible for communication of the program and design to clients and stakeholders, including presentations to the client, community, and end-users. I can effectively translate my clients’ desires and disseminate them in the form of direction to consulting engineers and other project team members that will result in comprehensive, coordinated drawings and specifications. I have a depth of experience in construction administration, and can effectively facilitate the construction process for clients, Construction Managers, and contractors.
As a LEED Accredited Professional, I can successfully navigate the implementation of sustainable design through the US Green Building Council’s LEED certification process, as well as the recently adopted California Green Building Code, from conceptual design through construction. I recognize the value and the cost of sustainable strategies, as well as the inherent increased effort on the part of the design team, owner, and contractor to integrate sustainability into a project.
