It's great to meet you.
 

Years ago, I set out to build my own forever home. I was resourceful and motivated, but I made costly mistakes because I rushed ahead and underestimated how much groundwork was needed during the planning phases.
 

I learned the hard way that the true foundation of a legacy home starts long before sketching a floor plan—it starts with intention, planning, and alignment between your long-term goals, the land, and the systems you’ll rely on for years to come.
 

Now, after over a decade of designing custom homes with natural materials like bamboo, strawbale, and earth blocks across diverse climates, using passive techniques, I’ve distilled what actually matters into a tried and true process. This program is what I wish I had when I started.

In my custom residential design career, I’ve seen firsthand how many projects get designed but never built. In fact, industry statistics show that nearly 70% of projects never make it to construction. My mission is to make sure yours isn’t one of them—and to guide you toward a successful build.

After building my own home, I know how powerful it is to be an empowered leader in the process. That’s why I help others design and build their own resilient homes - on their terms.
 

If you’re building your first home from the ground up and want it to reflect your values, support your lifestyle, connect you deeply to the land—and become a legacy you’re proud to pass down—you’re in the right place.​
