About Me
Originally from the East Coast, I received my Bachelors from Williams College with a double major in Environmental Biology and Studio Art with an additional concentration in Theatre Set Design. From there, I got my Masters of Science in Architectural Design at University of Massachusetts. I presented the first Master’s Design Project done on a CAD system at the University. After college, I spent a few years designing office buildings, then moved on to hospitals and other professional health care structures.
Finally, I escaped to Hawai’i. I’ve lived in Hawaii for over 20 years and have a comprehensive understanding of the Hawaiian environment. Unlike a lot of designers, I’ve actually gotten out of the office, and put in 6 years physically working on construction projects. I know first hand what it really takes to go from a nice drawing to a finished home here in Hawai’i. I also know how to work within realistic budgets. My New England upbringing holds strong practicality, proper function and a clear understanding of quality. My art education brings design creativity and uniqueness to your home project.
