About
Licensed architect in Indiana (AIA, NCARB certified) with 10 years of residential and commercial experience and a long list of repeat builder clients. I started my career in construction, earned my Master of Architecture, and spent the last few years in an Indianapolis firm working on commercial and industrial projects. I recently went back to self-employment full time, and I'm taking on new residential and light commercial work now.
WHAT I DELIVER
- Custom home design: floor plans, elevations, and 3D views from your sketches, a plan you found, or a blank site
- Permit-ready construction sets: floor plan, foundation design, roof design, electrical design, details and sections as needed
- Plan redraws and cleanups from hand sketches, PDFs, or old CAD files into a clean Revit model
- Exterior style options and photorealistic renderings for builders and spec homes
- Additions, remodels, ADUs, and commercial interior fit-outs
HOW I WORK
I primarily work with repeat builder clients to produce residential design and spec home packages. I also work directly with homeowners and provide full design services with revisions as needed and screen-share meetings on request. All projects are produced in Revit, which I've used daily for over a decade. Design and plan sets are quoted fixed-price by square footage of living area once I see your sketches, lot, or existing plan; revisions beyond the included rounds are hourly.
SOFTWARE: Revit, AutoCAD, Lumion, Bluebeam.
Share your sketches, your lot, or the plan you want fixed and I'll tell you what it takes.
