I started on job sites at 13, learning how to translate a set of plans into built reality. For over two decades, I practiced architecture—watching, learning, designing—but always said, “I’ll never build my own house.”

Then the Woolsey Fire burned mine down. I was forced to confront that old statement—and live through the entire process myself.

What I thought would be overwhelming became one of the most meaningful experiences of my life. It revealed how everything in life eventually connects.

After that, my team and I made a choice: we wouldn’t just design—we’d build. We’d honor our vision all the way through.

That shift opened new doors. We began searching for land, for projects that were complex or overlooked—ones that required deep architectural and engineering problem-solving. And we committed to facing those challenges head-on, both on paper and on site.

Today, our work brings together every layer of design—from the vision to the physical structure, from interiors to objects—allowing others to experience the full depth of what we create.
