“Design is a dynamic process; a quest to uncover elements that ignite people

‘s imagination. I use nature’s tenets to create a sense of place, comfort, and elements of surprise. In addition to aesthetic beauty, clients desire ease of movement and livability; surroundings that reflect their values in life and what they aspire to.”
