I have always loved solving puzzles and helping people.  That's why architecture is the perfect career for me. It provides the mental challenge of working through projects in three dimensions while helping clients turn their words into reality. As a solo practitioner licensed in the state of North Carolina, I am able to give clients focused service and will always be the main point of contact. I have over 20 years of construction, project management and architecture experience.  My construction experience is critical to being a better designer and producing a clear set of drawings, saving the client money and time down the road.  I can relate to contractors, appreciating what they do and the challenges they face. Having a good team and being able to understand one another is the key to a successful project.
