Our Expertise

We support projects through every phase, combining thoughtful planning, detailed documentation, regulatory navigation, cost and timeline awareness, collaborative team leadership, and carefully considered selections.

Space Planning

I bring a deep understanding of the building blocks of design. By identifying spatial opportunities early and balancing code requirements with program efficiencies, I streamline the path from concept to layout.

Years of technical expertise are embedded into my Revit template, allowing for efficient production of clear, coordinated drawings. Contractors frequently compliment the precision of my documents, which support a smooth and predictable construction phase.

Construction Documentation

Permitting

With extensive experience navigating Bay Area permitting processes, I anticipate potential issues and resolve them before they impact the schedule. My proactive approach ensures reviews move quickly and efficiently through jurisdictional approvals.

Budget & Schedule

Early in the project, I develop smart strategies to align scope, schedule, and budget with the goal to maximize value while maintaining design integrity. My detailed planning helps clients make informed decisions at every step.

Team Building

I cultivate strong, collaborative relationships with clients, consultants, and contractors. Most of my partners choose to work together again, a testament to mutual trust and consistent results.

Furniture Selection

Furniture is the element most directly experienced by end users. I coordinate closely with clients and dealers to ensure every piece complements the design vision and enhances the user experience.
