ABOUT

The Story

Amidst the 2020 unexpected professional changes, an opportunity arose, allowing us to pursue our long-held dream of establishing an architecture firm. We discovered a new path – founding a family-owned architectural venture and have journeyed forward ever since. Fueled by a passion for architecture, we forged ahead, driven with a determination to craft architectural marvels.

Nestled in the heart of the picturesque Lake Minnetonka area, our creative haven thrives. As a licensed architect in Minnesota and New Jersey, I bring years of expertise to every project. Each design is a testament to our unwavering commitment to transform spaces into breathtaking narratives.

Beyond blueprints and sketches, our story thrives in family moments. Our bundle of joy, born this year, joins the camaraderie of two golden retrievers that fill our free time with laughter and love.

Join us on this architectural odyssey as we shape homes and memories, one design at a time. Your dreams, our canvas – let's create together.
