My name is Stephen Helms and I graduated with a bachelor of architecture from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. I moved to San Diego, CA to start work with Ferguson Pape Baldwin Architects. I was employed at FPBA for about 2-3 years, but decided to explore other fields of architecture. I currently work at Baker Nowicki Design Studio in downtown San Diego. I have been at BNds for over 6 years. I work to contribute to our studio environment and design educational facilities in southern California.
