About

Philosophy

Creating modern solutions for historic buildings and timeless character for new construction.  Functional beauty for homes and commercial spaces.

Client Relationships

The key to every successful architect/ client relationship is communication.  I am fully transparent and approachable to each client.  My role is to guide expectations of design aesthetics and financial budgets.  The client shall have a clear vision of his/her project and associated costs well before construction begins.

Experience

I have been working within the architecture profession since 1998 with the last 15 years spent in the Pioneer Valley.  During that time, I have established strong relationships with consultants, contractors, and source vendors.  I also have expertise in building code, zoning ordinances, and permitting.
