History

Established in 2004.

After 12 years as an architect; 6 as an intern, 6 more as a licensed architect, I decided it was time to start my own practice. I learned my trade working at a variety of architectural practices, from a 300+ national firm specializing in large corporate and lab projects to boutique custom home design firms and a few in between. My vision for Facilities Design Group is to use the most current technology to benefit my clients; I use a detailed 3d model that describes the final product to the client in a way that is easily understood. That same model forms the basis of the drawings that we develop to obtain permits and to inform the construction. This streamlined approach makes the design process efficient and keeps the client informed and in control of the outcome. This approach is equally beneficial to homeowners and small businesses as to large industrial clients.
