Work with a
Professional Architectural Designer

You’ve searched social media, studied a multitude of online stores. You have wandered the aisles of your favorite home goods and decor shops. In theory, you should be ready to tackle your project — but has your vision fully come together? Maybe that cohesive vision hasn’t quite developed, or the decisions suddenly seem overwhelming. So, what’s the best way to make sure you get what you really want?


My clients often go out shopping in the world of consumer products and come back loaded with ideas, samples, and confusion. It’s my job to help sort through these items with an eye toward achieving the goal: Harmony and Fit.

Designers have the ability to envision a project. I know how to pull all the phases of a project together, clarify a client’s needs and desires, develop a budget, and create a workable design. I interact with subcontractors, keep a project moving forward, and guide the timing and installation, so the pieces meld together into a whole.

As your Architectural Designer, I not only bring my expertise and knowledge but, also see your project with a fresh perspective. I’ll identify the potential of your space as well as its inherent pain points. I will provide creative solutions.

Every project, no matter how big or small, is an accumulation and organization of pieces. Getting them to fit together in a seamless and harmonic way is the crux of a good design. It is my job, and the essence of my process, to help my clients collect ideas of what works for them – like the right door hardware or flooring, or bath fixtures.


Engaging a professional to navigate the complexity of making choices is empowering and fulfilling. Having a designer to run your ideas by is truly like having “a friend” in the business.

Benefit from the skills and experience of The Healing Home to create an overall plan to guide you through the forest of choices.

I love small projects. Distinctive alterations, such as a new front entry, a perfect built-in, or a new bathroom counter and vanity, can power up your space and significantly lift the “spirit” of your home.

Arizona owner-contracted remodel

The Healing Home is uniquely oriented to support owner-contracted projects. I have long recognized that the talents and enthusiasm that my clients bring to their projects are the keys to success. By supporting decision-making at every stage, I am ready to guide you in the relative values of the products and services selected. This can mean big savings over traditional architect/contractor construction models.
