On Design

Design is human-centered. Design is not decorating, nor is it tied to the latest trend. Design is not merely an aesthetic experience. Design concerns balance, depth in meaning, judgment, and simplicity. Design embraces uncertainty and abandons ego, thereby both revealing and solving problems. Design supports whole-systems, and always respects context.

On Content

Content is such a personal thing, and that goes for companies, too. Brand voice, tone, look & feel, and what you actually say — it’s all crucial to your brand identity and how you interact with your audience. It’s worth it to pay attention to the details!

92nd Street Residential Remodel & Addition: Photo of North Elevation
North Elevation: “After”

With the exception of the new entry addition, the exterior bones of the house remain largely intact, yet the difference in street presence is dramatic. The new addition introduces a point of focus for the entire façade: providing appropriate hierarchy and taking the spotlight away from the garage. New windows, doors, and paint stitch the addition into the existing house.

I tackle challenges of all sorts of scales — why not ask if your project would be a good fit?

Residential Whole House/Rebuild

Master Builders Association of King and Snohomish Counties: Seattle, Washington – June 2015
92nd Street Remodel & Addition

This major residential remodel and addition of a ’50s era home in Seattle, Washington transformed a house with a strange history into a dream home for a couple starting a new life. Tearing it down to the studs, we introduced natural, contemporary materials, and redesigned the layout to optimize light, function, and lifestyle.
