Who Am I?

I get called a lot of things - not all bad.  I'm often called an architect.  I'm not.  I'm a designer who designs architecturally.  But I don't start with architecture.  I design from the inside.  If designing a home - remodel, addition, or new - I start by arranging the furniture.  I look for the views to capture - inside and out.  I lay things out in a way that works functionally.  Then I design a house around it.

I was once told by another designer at an awards program that she finally figured out what makes my work distinctive.  She said, "Your work is sculptural.  You sculpt spaces."  I think it's true.  After determining the primary furniture design, I form, sculpt the space around it.
