Frequently Asked Questions

My studio is based in Chicago, but I operate with collaborators spread across the country. I am fully equipped to manage project logistics, local zoning requirements, and construction administration for developments across the United States, bringing form to your imagination no matter the location.

Timelines vary depending on the scale and complexity of the project. A custom single-family residence or a boutique commercial space can take 6 to 12 months from our first sketches to finalized construction documents. Larger multi-family developments take longer due to permitting and planning phases. I will establish a clear, realistic schedule with you right at the start.

I don’t restrict my practice to a single signature style. Instead, I focus on a disciplined design process driven by context, purpose, and your specific vision. Whether I am designing contemporary multi-family builds, sensitive heritage adaptive reuse projects, or bespoke modern residences, my priority is clean spatial composition, structural integrity, and enduring materials.

To help me review your project effectively before we connect, it’s helpful to know the project location, your general spatial or business goals, and your target timeline. If you have any initial "unusual ideas" or unique challenges, I want to hear about those too that's where the best work begins.
