I am a licensed architect specializing in residential development in the City of Seattle. I have a proven ability to navigate the permitting process, a deep background in the development industry, and a dive-in, get my hands dirty approach to problem solving. If you’re looking for help with design or permitting, you’ve come to the right place. Whether you need a custom design for a challenging site or a bare-bones plan set for permits, I can help.
My specialty is difficult lots and tight urban environments. I can help you make the best use of your land while navigating the tricky permitting process that comes with working in higher density areas.
Whatever stage your project is in, I’d love to chat or offer a Project Consultation. Call, email, or text me any time.

I enjoy helping people navigate the design, development, and construction process, and I love seeing new projects get off the ground. Whether you’re thinking about starting a project, gathering information on what’s possible, considering options, or ready to get going, I’m happy to answer your questions, provide creative ideas, or help you understand the process.
Feel free to reach out early in your project research — I highly recommend scheduling a consultation to set you up for success before getting too far into the project development process. Sometimes a little bit of guidance or creative advice early on can make a world of difference.
