How i work
I bring together design, visualization, planning, and construction coordination to take spaces from concept to completion while keeping design and execution aligned throughout the process.

The process
01
Discovery
Understand your goals, timeline, and project needs to define the scope and proposal.
02
Design development
Create or refine the concept, develop layouts and design drawings, and prepare for landlord review and architect handoff.
03
Construction planning
Coordinate design intent with the architect’s technical drawings, plan procurement, and prepare contractor bid packages.
04
Approvals
Support the architect through landlord reviews and permitting, keeping decisions and responses moving.
05
Construction
Coordinate teams, address changes, and track progress and punch-list work through turnover.
06
Closeout
Support completion, coordinate remaining punch-list items, and complete project documentation.
Design development
I start with the site, ideas, or design direction.
Through sketches, plans, models, and renderings, I test and refine ideas into a clear design package.

Project timeline
Project phases overlap. Timing varies with scope, site conditions, approvals, and lead times
Detail drawings
I develop detail drawings to communicate dimensions, materials, finishes, and design intent.
Tailored to each project, they guide coordination with the architect, fabricator, and contractor as the design moves toward construction.
Fees
How fees work
Fees reflect the project’s scope, complexity, and level of involvement. Most projects use a fixed fee; ongoing support may use a retainer. If the scope changes or additional services are required, adjustments are discussed and approved in advance — no surprises.
What’s included
Fees cover more than drawings and presentations. They also include the coordination and behind-the-scenes work required to keep the project moving. Depending on the scope, this may include concept design; coordination with architects, contractors, vendors, and fabricators; drawing and submittal reviews; procurement support; site involvement; and resolving issues as they arise. Each proposal clearly defines the included services and deliverables.
How to keep costs in check
DECISIONS: Make decisions early - clear direction minimizes redesign or backtracking.
REVISIONS: Keep options focused to protect project scope. Exploring paths is part of the process, but additional development rounds increase costs.
COMMUNICATION: Open feedback loops reach solutions more efficiently.
