This practice offers full-service architecture solutions and works on projects ranging from renovations, new-builts, interior design of residential and commerical projects, retail spaces and restaurant design.
My work is driven by a hollistic user experience- a balance of aesthetics, function and comfort. My services are fully customizable to each client and include architectural design, furnishings, full finish and fixture selections, permitting and construction documentation. Whether the project entails a full scale renovation or guidance on a single room- each design begins with an initial consultation.
A one on one conversation begins the process and helps form an understanding for the vision and goals of each project. Offering creative insights and answering process questions can help guide the exent of architectural services required.

WESTLAKE RESTAURANT
This commercial project included renovating an existing restaurant with the addition of a new outdoor dining patio. The patio features reclaimed terracotta pavers and a new bar with a custom stone bar top and steel enclosure system to activate the outdoor space. A new storefront system with a stained glass clerestory allows the entrance to the space to become open and filled with natural light.
BIG BEAR RESIDENCE
This architectural project consisted of a full renovation of an existing two story cabin with new additions of a front and rear deck and garage. Infusing the space with natural light via skylights and sliding glazing systems modernized the residence. Stainless steel finishes and cement tile flooring were added for a clean neutral palate to set against the mountain backdrop.
SAN PEDRO RESIDENCE
This renovation of an existing 1950’s beach cottage relied on keeping the existing bones of the structure while opening up intermediary spaces to achieve an open floor plan. New finishes and furnishings throughout helped create a warm, welcoming home with an eclectic ease.
CORONA DEL MAR RESIDENCE
This renovation brought natural light and modern finishes to update a single family home. New openings were added to blend the indoor and outdoor, while also creating a better flow through the living spaces. Custom millwork cabinetry throughout added warmth while maintaining clean lines.
HOSPITALITY
Working as the lead architect for 7 different restaurant buildouts throughout Southern California. Each project was thoughtfully designed with the goal of infusing existing spaces with natural light, blending the indoor-outdoor user experience and creating a warm environment for gathering. From permitting to construction management, each restaurant required a team of kitchen consultants, expeditors, structural engineers, builders and millworkers.
