After graduating from college, I moved to Portland and have practiced architecture here ever since. After building just about every type of structure imaginable, I have found smaller jobs are more personal and rewarding. In addition, Finally, the structural engineering can be completed by an architect as long as the project follows certain restrictions. This saves time and expense.

It is often thought that you only hire an architect for large projects. It's actually the opposite. From a design standpoint, the smaller the project, the more a designer is necessary. Anyone can design a giant McMansion - it takes a designer to create a small space that meets all of the project goals. When working with me, your project won't be handed off to someone after you sign a contract. The person that designs the project will be the same one who does the drawings.
