Specialties

I work with clients to create spaces that both work and delight.

History

Established in 1992.

I love Santa Fe and its unique blend of rustic and contemporary themes in architecture. I came to the southwest in 1989 and began by studying the pueblo architecture of the original builders in the southwest, the Native Americans. In Santa Fe, the love of color and order then arrived with the Spanish hundreds of years ago. What I get most often is a desire to blend the open flow of a contemporary house with the charm of these traditional materials.

Business Owner

I earned my Masters in Architecture at the University of Maryland, College Park, part of the Washington, D.C. metro area. History was important there in design, but building in context with the roots of an area took on a whole new meaning in Santa Fe. I feel as though I’ve been in a new Masters program since I’ve been living here.
