Welcome to my world

My career as a Building Designer began as a young boy living in a suburb of Los Angeles. Across the street was a strip center with a Thriftymart (if you remember that store chain than you are older than you think). Between it and the Five and Dime store was an appliance store.  Regularly I would drag home from the rear of that appliance store every large cardboard appliance box I could get my hands on. Once retrieved into the backyard I would go hunting for my mom’s King Kong scissor she used for cutting heavy fabric. I had to make use of them quickly before she discovered their absence as she didn’t take a liking when I dulled her sizers on cardboard.

Taking scissors in hand I would cut openings in the boxes for doorways and windows.  Basically fabricate houses, forts, imaginary air-raid shelters, or whatever the focus of play was for me and friends.  If I wasn’t cutting boxes I was stretching my bed sheets across my bedroom into a tension structure, stapling their corners and edges to the wall.

When I was in Jr-High I had my first exposure to a T-Square and other drafting tools.  In metal shop we had to complete the drafting of an object before we could start putting hand to tool.  I got a C+ on my first try but enjoyed it so much I redrew it and got a higher grade.  Since then I knew I wanted to design, took drafting in high school and eventually attended Sci-Arc in LA. 

We love Design but what is even more are the people we have had the privilege designing for. We are grateful to them all for the privilege of designing and drawing their projects.
