I have been involved in the high end, highly detailed Kitchen and Bath Design in Los Angeles. With a background in "hands-on" design and production of detailed joinery, furniture, cabinetry, exhibition show stands, point of sale displays, boatbuilding...I got involved with kitchens about 15-16 years ago and found that I had a knack for space planning and detail. Starting out in Sydney, Australia...we then moved to LA whereby I worked in a few of the best kitchen studios around. This brought my level of service in design and drafting to a whole new level of communication through comprehensive documentation and research resulting in plans, elevations, typical section details, mechanical & electrical & construction drawings. We started our own "Southland Kitchen Design Studio" in Santa Monica just before the fall of 2008. Subsequently, with my wife being from New Zealand and our 2 boys as young teenagers we bought another wooden boat to fix-up and sail to New Zealand...a homecoming for Deborah and a travel/life experience for Jacob and Isaac. Your work will help us prepare and achieve this journey at a cost effective rate for you. I no longer have great overheads and pass the savings on to you. Many Thanks...Check us out on "Science and Surf under Sail" on Facebook
