work telephone: (770) 436-9902What contacts, resources and opportunities can I help you find?I've wanted to be an architect for as long as I can remember. After earning a degree in architecture, I worked for one of the largest commercial architecture firms in the world. It was a wonderful place to learn with many outstanding mentors who taught me how to practice in the commercial sector. Though our commercial work seemed relatively glamorous at the time, as I matured, my appreciation for the subtle details and client relationships quickly become most important to me. Commercial work demands specialization because the projects are so large. Focusing on residential projects (renovations, additions and new construction) has allowed me change the scale of my practice so I can build stronger client relationships while still working on all aspects of the project.As an architect and owner's advocate, I prefer to work as a consultant to the owner: helping the owner develop and realize his|her vision for the project rather than driving the owner toward the most obvious design solution. I provide candid comments, alternative solutions and guide the owner through the process from programming through the end of the construction phase.
