We each provide personal and engaging involvement directly with your design teams on a regular basis throughout the design and documentation phases. We strive to build confidence through experience in our intern staff, with all staff participating in the specifications process at each level of development.

"The construction process begins with people who are not aware of your vision; they gain insight and understand your design intent only through the quality of your documentation. Clear and precise communication is the means to ensure your design intent is known, understood and executed to completion."

"I believe design is more than the creation of an idea; it is the realization of that idea through clear and concise communication, and ultimately measured by the beauty and functionality of the final building for the users."
