What is the vision
of your dream home?
Your dream home is more than a place to live—it’s a vision you’ve carried with you, shaped by inspiration, imagination, and life experience. My role is to translate that vision into reality, guiding it from the first sketches to a breathtaking finished home.
From the earliest meeting, your ideas take center stage. Whether you bring inspiration images, a collection of references, or simple sketches on a napkin, I listen closely to ensure the design reflects your goals from the start. Together, we refine and expand upon your vision until every detail is purposeful and aligned with your lifestyle.
With experience across diverse architectural styles and projects throughout North Carolina, I bring both creativity and technical expertise to realize homes that balance beauty, function, and enduring quality.
Our Process
1
Existing Conditions
For renovations and additions, I begin by carefully measuring your existing home and creating a precise digital model. This ensures accuracy from the start and provides a solid foundation for seamlessly integrating new design elements.
2
Schematic Design
Together, we explore initial concepts through floor plans and elevations informed by your goals and lifestyle. This is a collaborative stage—your vision guides the direction, while I translate your ideas into thoughtful design options.
3
Design Development
At this stage, concepts take shape in detail. Using advanced 3D modeling and renderings, you’ll see exactly how your home will look and feel—eliminating guesswork and ensuring confidence in every decision.
4
Construction Document
Once the design is finalized, I prepare a complete set of technical drawings. These serve as the builder’s roadmap, with every detail laid out for clarity and precision. If permitting is required, I ensure all documentation meets code for a smooth approval process.
5
Construction Observation
The final step is bringing the design to life. I remain engaged throughout construction, supporting clear communication between all parties and safeguarding the integrity of the design.
6
Completion
The moment everything comes together—your vision, fully realized. Step inside and see your dream home brought to life.
