PASSION / BALANCE / RELATIONSHIPS
Heart Healthy Design is not only a way of thinking, but an approach to life.
As Director of Design for the Salt Lake City office of HKS, an international architectural firm, I seek counterpoint to the commercial work, and find it with the small scale projects and the attention to detail they deserve.
Focusing on only one project each year, this approach allows for an unique opportunity to truly understand and collaborate directly with homeowners, bringing their individual dreams to life.
