Transforming your ideas into precise construction drawings.

Custom Construction Documents

Detailed plans ready to send to your engineer, or in most rural counties, straight to your building department. I also know engineers who can take care of any engineering needs.

3D Modeling

Sketches or photo like renders. Images generated from the same software that is used to lay out the floor plan. This ensures that images are accurate, and helps us notice potential choke points, awkward layouts, and other design errors.

Basic Interior Design

We can help you create beautiful, timeless interiors that reflect your vision. Think of your favorite memories and places. Think about the objects, colors, and moods that you always associate with those places. Together we can compile them to create a beautiful, coherent space.

Let's build something:

Simple,

Beautiful,

Functional

Agricultural

Hay Barns, Machine Sheds, Animal Shelters and more

Residential

From efficient Tiny Homes to full custom residences, I bring hands-on experience to make it beautiful, functional, and build-able.

Affordable plan sets

I may be able to build you custom plans for the same amount you would pay for stock plans.

About Your Designer

Work History

My background is in hands-on construction and small business. I've been building things all my life. That includes designing and building portable cabins, wood framed park model RVs, and site build residences, including my own cozy 1 and 1/2 story house, which has a 480 SQ FT footprint, and houses our family of four. I'm now branching out into full time design services, so that I can work from home to support the changing needs of my family. In 2024, I began a course with the Interior Design Institute, to better equip me to provide valuable design and consulting services. I had to pause that but hope to continue my studies soon.

Although I've also completed larger projects, my accidental specialty has been smaller spaces. I enjoy the challenge of working with limited space and budget. I know personally what it's like to work under those constraints. I strive to craft beautiful spaces that offer more storage and work space than expected, while providing a surprising amount of elbow room and that sense of having plenty of "breathing space". If you live in Colorado or Utah, check out this small family owned Tiny Home company near Fruita. I helped design and build this pilot model (pictured below).

Focus

Although I try to keep tabs on changing styles, my primary goal is not to build something that mirrors the latest styles. If that's what you're looking for, I might not be your person. I'm more interested in building something that will last through changing styles. Something that will provide a welcoming environment that radiates the style and mood you want to feel when you come home. Unless otherwise instructed, I pursue a simple elegance, optimizing spaces for a roomy feel and well appointed storage and work areas.
