I have 30 years working in award winning architect firms in the Hamptons and New York City, I have the experience, expertise, and connections that will be an invaluable addition to your firm. I maintain high standards for design by modeling and mentoring expectations through collaborative design reviews. I also have the experience and knowledge to help guide projects in a responsible and profitable manner. Maintaining the balance between a full-service client experience, artfully designed custom architecture and a profitable business is the challenge to any firm, to which I can provide leadership to help achieve those goals.
I live on the East End of Long Island and have built many strong and mutually respectful relationships, especially with local contractors while working in the Hamptons. I am looking for a firm which has a similar philosophy and approach to architecture and would like an opportunity to discuss how joining your firm can be advantageous for both of us. Enclosed please find my resume and a sample of my work. Thank you for your consideration.
Lastly, I would like to share a project that was published in Elle Decor. I was the lead designer and the project architect.
