About Us
TEN 9 Design is a nimble and advanced design firm for all levels of architectural design needs. We have a combined 40+ years of experience in residential and commercial architecture, established jurisdictional relationships, and a firm understanding of each phase of a project for its successful execution.
We first worked together as neighbors in Coffey Park after the 2017 Tubbs fire on the daunting task of organizing and re-building our neighborhood. With TEN 9 Design we have the opportunity to collaborate again in support of our local community of clients, designers, and builders. Access to a qualified architect to assist in solving simple or complex design issues should be easy and direct. TEN 9 Design is structured so clients and consultants can work with experienced professionals that will collaborate and solve any design challenge regardless of size.
We accomplish this by approaching each project with lots of questions, and intent listening to clients about their project goals. From the very first meeting, we offer forward thinking design ideas for sustainability and long-term access, realistically accomplishing a project within budget to its overall goals by upfront honesty, knowing that the approach is not one size fits all. TEN 9 Design’s mission is to Develop a collaborative relationship with each client and the professional disciplines required along the way and allow a project to flow with open communication and transparency.

I am a California licensed architect with a diverse professional background in construction, art, and design. Modern architectural practice is the most exciting career chapter yet and where I’ve found my home. For over 20 years I’ve had the opportunity to support and work alongside countless interesting and accomplished architectural professionals. TEN 9 Design is an opportunity to mix the best parts of that experience into something valuable for our local community of clients, designers, and builders. Outside of TEN 9 Design I restore old machinery, paint, garden, and motorcycle about.

My love of architecture began at the age of 6 tinkering with building blocks and sketching houses. In 1998 I began working for a residential and commercial architectural design firm in Petaluma where I was able to advance my knowledge and experience over the course of 20 years - from small remodels to multi-story hotels. Ten 9 Design is the culmination of a broad range of project experience and collaboration with extraordinary professionals, love of architecture, and the desire to create inclusive spaces for our clients by providing approachable access to architecture. When I am not working you can find me hiking on the trails in this beautiful place we call home.
