My mom was an artist and my dad was a carpenter. I grew up helping them do hands-on remodeling work in our home, and discovered early on that I wanted to become an architect. I earned my Bachelor of Architecture at Cornell University, becoming a licensed architect at the unusually young age of twenty-six. After college and a year working in Boston, I drove across the country to join the LA architecture scene in 2002. For years, I’d dreamed of owning my own firm, a place where I could pursue meaningful projects and provide the kind of dedicated, personalized design experience you simply won’t find in a large corporate office. My early start led me to found Letter Four with Jeremy Baker, whose construction expertise was the perfect complement to my design skills. I now have more than 20 years of hands-on experience designing luxurious residences and commercial spaces in the greater LA area and across the country, including New York, Hawaii, Texas, DC, and San Francisco. As head of our architectural design team, I thrive on close collaboration with our team to solve our clients’ problems by pushing the boundaries of design, exploring new possibilities and finding unique yet practical solutions for homes and commercial buildings. Letter Four is a design-build partnership for visionary homeowners and business leaders in the greater Los Angeles area and beyond. Through thoughtful design, holistic guidance and meticulous construction, we create places and spaces that fit the shape of your life.

I don’t remember life before construction and design. My grandfather was a master carpenter, and as a kid I spent countless hours with him in his woodshop, absorbing the art of custom craftsmanship and the value of hard work. When I wasn’t Granddad’s shadow, I was helping my parents restore historic brownstone homes. Those hands-on experiences shaped my passion for design, problem-solving and the art of building functional spaces. That foundation led me on a journey from small-town New England through New York City and Philadelphia to ultimately landing in Los Angeles. Along the way, I honed my construction skills, refined my design sensibilities and developed a deep understanding of how people interact with the built environment. I met a brilliant architect named Lauren Adams and we collaborated on multiple projects. In 2010, we noticed a gap that bothered both of us: there just weren’t many firms offering a true turnkey design-build service. Homeowners and business owners had to juggle architects, interior designers, contractors and engineers, leading to frustrating delays, budget overruns and disjointed projects. We knew there was a better and simpler way, and so Letter Four was born. Letter Four is a design-build partnership for visionary homeowners and business leaders in the greater Los Angeles area and beyond. Through thoughtful design, holistic guidance and meticulous construction, we create places and spaces that fit the shape of your life.

I’m a renovation and fit-out professional with over a decade of hands-on experience working on residential projects across Dubai, including villas, apartments, and mixed-use properties. My work focuses on helping homeowners and property investors make clear, informed renovation decisions before construction begins especialy around budgeting, scope definition, and risk avoidance. Over the years, I’ve seen how most renovation problems start long before site work begins: unclear scopes, unrealistic pricing, missing approvals, and poor planning. That’s why I specialize in practical renovation planning, cost transparency, and pre-construction validation using 3D visualization. This approach allows clients to understand outcomes, timelines, and costs upfront rather than discovering issues mid-project. I regularly advise on contractor selection, quality control, snag management, and compliance with Dubai’s building management and approval requirements. My perspective is shaped by real project execution, not theory from compact apartments to large villa renovations. When contributing to media or industry discussions, I aim to provide straightforward, experience-based insights that help readers avoid common mistakes and approach renovation decisions with confidence and clarity.
