At 8 years old, my grandmother hung a framed picture of Frank Lloyd Wright's Falling Water house in her dining room. I was mesmerized. From that day, I knew I was going to design houses that were unique, creative and thoughtful. Growing up, weekends were playing hockey and house projects with dad. There was always at least one project on going and a growing wish list from the general contractor (mom). Having a garage full of tools and carrying around a tool bag has been in my genetics for many generations.
In 2007, I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering from Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, Massachusetts. Out of college I worked 13 years for a high-end residential firm. I already knew how to use my hands to build. The experience working in the firm taught me and groomed me into the designer I am today. Being self-employed was never something I foresaw in my professional life but in June of 2020 opportunities aligned and the gained ability to balance work with a young family life was an opportunity I could not look back on later and regret not trying.
